  • 40g butter
  • 62.50 ml plain flour

  • Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water until perfectly cooked, then toss in peas during the final minute. Drain well.
  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute until it bubbles. Take off the heat. Slowly pour in milk, stirring until smooth. Return to heat and cook until thickened. Mix in parmesan and 1/4 cup tasty cheese until smooth. Stir in egg.
  • Mix the pasta mixture, white sauce, zucchini, and half of the bacon in a large bowl. Season to taste. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the remaining tasty cheese on top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is golden. Let it rest for 15 minutes, then garnish with the remaining bacon and basil. Serve alongside a salad.
