This chargrilled courgette and smoked bacon pasta appeared in the BBC Easy Cook Summer 2022 magazine.   It's not on a BBC website, but it does appear on the Olive website.

It's a cheap and cheerful pasta dish that's easily doubled to serve 4 people and makes great use of seasonal courgettes...and it's on the table in 30 minutes!

We enjoyed it for lunch, but it'll make a great quick mid week meal if you're short of time but want something flavourful.   The combination of flavours is delicious - crispy smoky garlicky bacon, tender chunks of courgette with a slight char...and a bit of heat from the chilli flakes if you're using them.

Tip

  • This chargrilled courgette and smoked bacon pasta recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people.

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta following the packet instructions. Meanwhile, toss the courgettes in 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season. Heat a griddle pan until hot, then griddle the courgettes in batches (if required) until tender and charred on both sides (about 2 minutes each side).  Once cooked, remove the courgettes to a bowl and cover with a plate to keep warm.
  2. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon until crisp and golden (about 4 minutes). Add the garlic, reduce the heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chilli flakes, if using.
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving a mug of the cooking water. Tip the cooked pasta and courgettes into the pan of bacon along with 2 tbsp of the reserved cooking water. Toss everything together. Season well and serve.
