I love recipes that require the least amount of washing up. So Bacon and Zucchini Pasta is terrific. One pot for pasta and one frying pan. That means a fast washing up and get to the lounge chair with.

OK I’m obviously going crazy (or recipe has been updated?) it DOES now have zucchini mentioned, my apologies! 🙂
lol I forgot the main ingredient Sylvia and updated it! So sorry – was up all night with the kids!
Quick to make. I think of this as another interpretation of carbonara. It went really fast and now making pesto with leftover basil. I will be adding this to my favourites. Thank you for receipe.
