ZUCCHINI, BACON & GARLIC FETTUCCINI
This is a great and very easy pasta dish for those nights that you need to whip something up in a short amount of time.
We would have this at least once a fortnight in my house because it’s quick, I usually have all the ingredients and my girls will eat it as well!
Save it for next time you need a delicious, healthy and quick pasta recipe.

Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 tbs olive oil
1 brown onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 rashers shortcut bacon, diced
1 large zucchini, cut into half moons
1 400g can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tsp caster sugar
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 325g packet RANA fresh fettucine
1/2 cup parmesan, grated
Salt/ Pepper
Method:
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
Meanwhile, heat a large fry pan on medium heat. Drizzle olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and bacon and sauté for another 3 minutes. Add the chopped zucchini and stir for 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Simmer for 8-10 minutes. Add the sugar, parsley and season well.
In the last 5 minutes of the sauce cooking, add the fresh fettucine to the boiling water. Cook per packet instructions (approx. 2 mins). Drain the pasta, reserving 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Pour the fettucine back into the pot.
Add the sauce to the cooked fettucine. Add a little of the pasta water if you like a thinner consistency. Combine gently. Serve into bowls and top with grated parmesan and season well.
