Serves 4
1 pound/450g fusilli (spiral pasta)
4 slices turkey bacon, cut into thin strips
½ teaspoon/2ml sea salt
¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper
4 medium yellow squash , quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
½ cup/125ml heavy cream
¼ cup/15g grated Asiago cheese, plus more for serving
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium. Add bacon, and cook until browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain (leave bacon fat in skillet). Increase heat to medium-high heat. Add squash and garlic to the skillet; season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until squash begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cream and cooked pasta to skillet; toss well, and cook until cream begins to thicken. Remove from heat; stir in Asiago, and add enough reserved pasta water to create a sauce that coats pasta. Serve topped with bacon and more cheese.
