This vibrant gemelli with courgette, tomatoes and bacon is a fantastic high-protein dish that balances salty, savoury depth with fresh summer produce. The combination of smoky bacon and zesty white wine creates a light yet indulgent sauce that perfectly coats the twisted pasta shapes. By using fresh oregano and juicy plum tomatoes, you achieve a Mediterranean-inspired flavour profile that feels both sophisticated and satisfyingly simple to prepare.

Perfect for a quick midweek meal or a relaxed weekend lunch, this recipe relies on the creamy texture of soft goat's cheese to tie the ingredients together. The cheese melts just enough to provide a luxurious mouthfeel without overpowering the delicate sweetness of the sautéed red onion. Served warm, it is a nutritionally balanced bowlful that provides a substantial hit of protein while celebrating seasonal vegetables.

Ingredients for Gemelli with Courgette, Tomatoes, and Bacon

12 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, chopped (about 475ml )
350ml dry white wine
350g gemelli or rotini (about 450g )
3 slender courgette, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
3 large plum tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped (about 230g )
50g chopped fresh oregano
120g crumbled soft fresh goat cheese (about 110g )

How to make Gemelli with Courgette, Tomatoes, and Bacon

Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add wine; boil until reduced by 1/3, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until slightly underdone. Add courgette and boil until pasta is tender but still firm to bite and courgette is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes longer. Drain.

Add pasta, courgette, bacon, tomatoes, and oregano to onion in skillet. Toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Add cheese and toss until beginning to melt, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
