Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 brown onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 3 bacon rashers shortcut, diced
- 1 zucchini large, cut into half moons
- 400 g canned crushed cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1/2 cup parsley leaves chopped
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
- 325 g fresh fettucine pasta
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, to serve
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and bacon and sauté for another 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and stir for 2 minutes. Stir through the canned tomatoes and water, then simmer for 8–10 minutes. Add the sugar and parsley and season well.
