Author: 
 
An easy family-friendly recipe.
Ingredients
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 375g (1 box) fusilli
  • 1 can (540ml / 19oz) corn
  • 2 zucchini cut into small chunks (I quartered my zucchini lengthwise and then chopped 1cm)
  • 1 (standard 218ml jar) basil pesto
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon over medium heat in a skillet, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
  2. You can either choose to fry your zucchini in the bacon drippings or boil it along with the corn.
  3. Meanwhile, cook fusilli according to package instructions. Add vegetables to the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Reserve ½ cup pasta water. Drain.
  4. Pour pasta and vegetables back into the cooking pot. Add pesto and bacon and ¼ cup reserved water. Stir to combine.
  5. Add more water if it looks a little dry.
