Method

  • step 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.

  • step 2

    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 crème 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.

Lovely receipe. Only change I made was as I was only cooking for one I used a small ton of Philadelphia cream cheese as it is too wasteful to buy tubs of crème fresh. Added women pasta water and it worked perfectly.

Sorry I’m replying to myself but didn’t know how to edit/correct. I should have said “small tub of”

I have now made this dish a good number of times and it is excellent every time.

Weight of courgettes would be better. Depending on size, 4 can be way too much

Delicious! Even the fussy teenager cleaned his plate! This will be a regular dish in our house now :)

Loved this dish - quick, easy and very tasty! Removing excess water from the courgette may help it cook a little better. I also tried the recipe again with courgette ribbons and that tasted delicious too!
