You'll have to figure out your own quantities on this, I can give you a guesstimate.

Bacon, or prosciutto
zuchhini
garlic
pasta
cream
parmesean


chop the bacon into lardons and fry til crisp, drain, let 1T of bacon fat remain in pan.
cut zucchini into shape desired to match pasta you choose to use - for example, when I use penne, I cut the zucchini into 2-3" long and half inch wide pieces. 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch dice when I used oirchette (sp?)
Cook pasta til al dente and drain.
Fry zucchini in reserved bacon fat til crisp/tender
add crushed garlic ( a couple cloves) and continue to fry til fragrant
add cream to skillet and once warmed, add freshly grated parmesean
add in pasta and toss to coat, then toss in crispy bacon lardons
salt and pepper to taste
Sorry this is not an exact recipe, but you get the gist, pasta and zucchini in a parmesan and garlic cream sauce with bacon--yummy!
