Slice your zucchini the way you like and toss them in the pan;
Cook them for 5-8 minutes, add salt and pepper too;
When the zucchini are nice and crunchy, take a spoonful of them out of the pan and put it in a blender together with some bacon and a spoon of Parmesan cheese: blend everything until you get a nice cream;
Put the pasta to cook and when 'al dente', toss everything together with the zucchini, the crunchy bacon, the cream you made - add the pasta water to make the cream nice and smooth;
Crack more black pepper on top and...
