Description
I love preparing this pasta with zucchini and cured pork cheek! It is a simple dish but full of flavor, perfect for a quick dinner or a family lunch. The crispy cured pork cheek goes perfectly with the sweetness of the zucchini, creating a delicious contrast. The preparation is really quick, especially if you use fresh seasonal zucchini. A tip? Don't skimp on the freshly ground black pepper, it enhances the taste even more! If you prefer, you can replace the cured pork cheek with smoked bacon, but the cured pork cheek gives a more intense and authentic flavor. Enjoy your meal!

Preparation of the zucchini
Wash and cut the zucchini in half, then into thin slices. Set aside.

Cut the cured pork cheek into strips. Put the cured pork cheek in the bowl and brown for 5 Min./120°C/Stufe 1 without a measuring cup.
Drain the cured pork cheek
Drain the cured pork cheek on absorbent paper and set aside.

Pour a drizzle of olive oil into the bowl. Add the zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook for 6 Min./120°C/Stufe 1.
Cook the pasta
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in abundant salted water for the time indicated on the package minus 3-4 minutes.
Stir the pasta
Drain the pasta and pour it into the bowl with the zucchini. Add two ladles of pasta cooking water. Stir for 2 Min./100°C/Stufe 2.
Add the cured pork cheek
Add most of the crispy cured pork cheek (keeping some aside for decoration) and mix gently for 10 Sek./Stufe 1/Linkslauf.
