Preparation
To make this sauce for pasta with zucchini and pancetta, start by peeling and finely chopping the onion, then trim the zucchini and cut them into small cubes. Let the onion soften in a generous drizzle of oil,
add the pancetta and let it cook over high heat.
Add the zucchini and, if necessary, adjust the salt; let them soften and then brown.
Once cooked, golden and flavorful, finish by adding the cream and, if needed, a little milk to loosen it, sprinkle with black pepper and stir. Once you have a creamy sauce, cook the pasta, drain it al dente and add it to the sauce, then toss with a little Grana or Parmesan cheese.
This flavorful sauce made with zucchini and pancetta can be eaten immediately and keeps in the fridge for 24 hours, well sealed in an airtight container. Reheat before serving with the addition of a little milk or water.
