Amatriciana Pasta with Zucchini, Basil and Parmesan

We've taken the idea of the beloved, tomatoey, bacon-flecked Amatriciana pasta sauce – originally hailing from the town of Amatrice in Italy's Lazio region – and tossed in a few green additions. There's zucchini for balance, basil for fragrance and a peppery side salad of rocket to round it all out in less than 30 minutes.
