4 zucchini
2tablespoons olive oil
6slices Canadian bacon, trimmed of all fat and thinly sliced
1clove garlic, crushed
3/4cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and sliced into strips
1small red chile, finely chopped
1tablespoon pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Make your spaghetti by either grating the zucchini at an angle on the largest side of a cheese grater or using a hand-held julienne peeler or spiralizer.
  2. Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over high heat and stir-fry the zucchini for 3 minutes. Add the bacon to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until cooked. Reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, chile, pine nuts, and the remaining olive oil to the pan. Toss for a few minutes, then take off the heat.
  4. Divide the spaghetti between four bowls, sprinkle with the basil, and serve immediately.
