How to make courgette pasta
Super quick olive oil base pasta. That's all.
- finely chop up garlic/shallot/onion/chilli (only leave some of the seeds if you can handle it) or you can mush them up in a pestle & mortar (minus the onion)
- slice or julienne the courgettes
- add all of the above in a few tablespoons of olive oil, let the flavour infuse for a little while you do this other stuff below
- cook pasta al-dente and set aside (please don't cook it til it's all mushy, remember to drain with cold water to stop the cooking process)
- cook bacon in oven grill til crunchy and set aside
- now cook the olive oil mixture of stuff until it smells wonderful (but make sure the courgettes still has crunch)
- toss in the pasta and bacon, season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
- arrange artistically
I don't like courgettes but ooohhhh look at that bacon!!!!!
