A quick and creamy carbonara-style tagliatelle that showcases delicious courgettes contrasted with cream and pancetta.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 150g pancetta
- 4 courgette, coarsely grated
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 3 tbsp parmesan, grated
- 200g creme fraiche
- 300g wholewheat tagliatelle
Directions
1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the pancetta or bacon for about 5 mins until starting to crisp. Turn up the heat and add the grated courgette to the pan. Cook for 5 mins or until soft and starting to brown then add the garlic and cook for a minute longer. Season and set aside.

Cook the tagliatelle according to the pack instructions and scoop out a cupful of cooking water. Drain the tagliatelle and tip into the frying pan with the bacon and courgette. Over a low heat toss everything together with the creme fraiche and half the Parmesan adding a splash of pasta water too if you need to loosen the sauce. Season to taste and serve twirled into bowls with the remaining Parmesan scattered over.
