Courgette and Bacon Tagliatelle

17/4/2016

Comments

 
This is a recipe from BBC GoodFood and I tried it because I am trying to eat more vegetables and the other day I bought a courgette (not really thinking about what to do with it). Enjoyed this. I bought a 400g pack of tagliatelle and cooked the whole thing. It's doing me three meals. Just divide into portions, cover and fridge them.

Ingredients
  • 4 rashers of streaky smoked bacon
  • 1 courgette
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 3 pudding spoons of half fat creme fraiche
  • Salt and lots of black pepper
  • A hunk of goat's cheese, parmesan would work really well here
  • Tagliatelle

Method

Chop the bacon up into small hunks. Fry in a little oil until just browning (for a couple of mins). Add in the chopped garlic and then the grated courgette. Let it all fry together for a few mins. The courgette will soften up nicely. Once it looks done, turn the heat off.

Get the tagliatelle on. Drain the pasta (reserving a small cup of the pasta water if you want, I just used a small cup of normal water because I forgot). Bung the pasta in the frying pan. Toss about a bit - suggest using a pincer action with a fork and a wooden spoon or something. #youdoyou. 

Add in the creme fraiche and the cheese. Stir about, maybe put the hob on to heat it up a bit. It's probably going to be a tad dry so I suggest adding a splash of water now (if you saved pasta water then add that). This should make it more 'creamy'. Don't add too much otherwise that'll just be soggy. Not good.

​ Serve. Top with more black pepper.
