Creamy Zucchini And Speck Pasta

Method

Tap a step when it is done.

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil, then add salt and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
2. Wash the zucchinis, trim the ends, and slice them into thin rounds or small cubes.
3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan and add the speck, sautéing over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until slightly crispy.
4. Add the zucchinis to the pan and cook for about 7–8 minutes until tender, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Lower the heat and stir in the cooking cream, letting it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy.
6. If desired, blend half of the zucchini mixture and return it to the pan for a smoother texture.
7. Drain the pasta al dente, reserving about half a cup of the cooking water.
8. Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce, stir in the grated Parmesan and a splash of reserved pasta water if needed, then toss over low heat for 1–2 minutes.

Buon appetito!
