Directions
- Spiralize the zucchini into pasta.
- Slice the bacon into strips.
- Crush the garlic.
- Remove the woody stems from the kale and chop the kale.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat
- When hot add in the bacon slices and cook for about 5-10 minutes until the bacon is to your preferred crispiness. Using a slotted spoon, set aside the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate when done.
- Pour out half of the bacon fat in the pan and keep the rest in the pan. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute and then add in the chilli flakes and chopped kale. Cook the kale until wilted.
- Add in the zucchini pasta, and return the bacon to the pan. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes or until the zucchini pasta has softened and is coated with everything. Drizzle with about half a tablespoon of olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Tip the pasta into a bowl and tuck in!
