Ingredients

90g bacon lardons
½ tbsp olive oil
1 medium courgette, coarsely grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
150g tagliatelle
1 tbsp drained capers
½ lemon, zested and juiced
20g pecorino, grated
2 handfuls of rocket

Steps:

Put the lardons in a pan and fry over a medium heat for 5 mins until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and pour off any fat.
Heat the oil in the same pan and fry the courgette and garlic for 6-8 mins until lightly golden and most of the water has evaporated. Add the tagliatelle and pour in 400ml water. Stir until the pasta nests unravel, then cook uncovered for 7-9 mins, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente. Stir in the capers, lemon zest and juice, pecorino and lardons, adding a splash more water if it looks a little dry. Stir for a few seconds until the cheese starts to melt. Fold in the rocket until just starting to wilt, then serve.

ONE-POT CAPRESE PASTA

One-Pot Caprese Pasta image

This dish tastes just like your favorite summer salad, only heartier. If you haven't tried a one-pot pasta yet, do: It's a great timesaving trick. Place all the ingredients in the pot together, add enough water and simmer. The noodles and sauce cook together, which means this dinner is ready in just 15 minutes. Stirring in the fresh mozzarella after the pasta has finished cooking creates an almost instant cream sauce, coating each noodle with a hint of cheese.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup ramp, wild leek
1 teaspoon capers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound penne pasta
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Cut a small "x" into the bottom of each tomato.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add tomatoes to the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds until skin starts to peel off. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Immediately immerse in the ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain, peel, and chop.
Combine tomatoes, ramps, capers, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a blender; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add bacon and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato-ramp mixture and cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pasta water and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
Drain penne and mix with sauce.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much pasta or vegetables to the pan, they won't cook evenly.
Cook the pasta al dente: This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
Don't rinse the pasta after cooking: This will remove the starch from the pasta, which helps to thicken the sauce.
Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, or Asiago are all good choices.
Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking: This will brighten up the flavor of the dish.

Conclusion:

This one-pot pasta dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of bacon, courgette, capers, and cheese is delicious, and the pasta cooks perfectly in the same pot as the sauce. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
