Start by peeling the zucchini with a vegetable peeler. Then cut the peels into thin strips and set aside.

In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and diced zucchini. Season with salt and cook for ten minutes.

Once softened, place them in a bowl and add a sachet of saffron and the robiola. Add a ladle of hot water and blend everything together. Before adding the pasta, blanch the zucchini peels for a few seconds.

While the pasta is cooking, let's toast the pancetta slices until crispy.

Drain the pasta and season it with the cream, garnish with the courgette peels, pancetta, and a sprinkling of pepper.
