2

-
3
Make and crumble your bacon.
-
4
Grate your Parmesan cheese.
-

Mince the head of garlic (an entire head, not just a clove).
-
9
Using a garlic press is the most effective way to get it done quickly.

Now, heat a saute pan (larger than a normal frying pan) and saute the garlic for a few minutes in the olive oil.
-
11
Then add the zucchini and stir frequently for 10-15 minutes until soft and sweet.
-
12
Add more oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
-
13
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions.
-
14
If you can, time the pasta so it finishes within a minute or two of the zucchini.
-
15
Angel hair is thin so it should take about 6-7 minutes to cook.
-
16
After draining it, put the pasta back in the pot and add the zucchini/garlic mixture, the bacon and the Parmesan.
-
17
Stir well.
-
18
Serve on a plate (there is no sauce so if you serve it in a bowl, the bacon and zucchini sink to the bottom.)
-
19
This recipe can easily be altered to your liking.
-
20
Add more or less garlic, zucchini, pasta, bacon, cheese.
-
21
Or even add something else that you like!

My pasta and bacon are on the high end because they are my favorite.

You could go to 4 ounces of pasta and 4 pieces of bacon if youre not as extreme.
