Preparation
Bake the zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; halve crosswise.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Bake, flipping halfway, 10 to 12 min., until tender.
Boil the pasta
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 10 to 12 min., until al dente.
Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic and bacon.
- Thinly slice the roasted peppers lengthwise.
Start the sauce
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the bacon* and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 7 min., until beginning to brown.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and remaining spices. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
Finish the sauce & combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the demi-glace, roasted peppers and reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until combined and warmed through; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your bowls.
- Top with the zucchini. Bon appétit!
