Pasta With Zucchini – We Love God!

Confronting another when they are in a state of sin is an act of love. If our children were abusing drugs we would make a judgment call. Why is it any different if a brother or sister in Christ is acting in a destructive manner? Don’t we understand the destructive nature of sin? It nailed our Savior to the cross! Respected pastor and theologian, John Stott, once said, “To [learn of a foreign object in a brother’s eye and] leave it there, and make no attempt to remove it, would hardly be consistent with brotherly love” (Sermon on the Mount, p. 179). If we really want to be more like Christ (Rom. 8:29), we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. If we are humble, we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. It is only the scoffer, according to Proverbs, who hates correction (Pro. 9:8). And if this is what is best for us, we should naturally want it for others. Isn’t that the Golden Rule (Mt. 7:12)?

INGREDIENTS

1/2	c	Coarsely chopped pancetta
		see * Note
1/4	c	Olive oil
3		Garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 1/2	lb	Zucchini, cut julienne
		And drained well
1/2	c	Whipping cream
1/3	c	Freshly grated Parmesan
		cheese
		Salt, to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper
		to taste
1	lb	Dry pasta, penne prefered

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: American bacon will work, but the flavor is very different.  Heat
a large frying pan and saute the pancetta until clear. Remove  the meat
and fat from the pan. Drain and discard the fat and set the  meat
aside. Add the olive oil to the pan and saute the garlic for  just a
moment. Add the well-drained zucchini and saute over high heat  until
the zucchini is hot but not mushy. Add the cream and stir. Cook  the
pasta (I prefer penne with this dish) and toss the above with the
cooked pasta, adding the pancetta, cheese and salt and pepper to
taste. This recipe serves 6 as a dinner course or 8 as a pasta course.
Comments: This dish is not supposed to save you from the neighbors  who
will leave that 18-pound zucchini on your porch. You will not  need
that much for this recipe. However, during the winter you will  begin
to long for this dish once you have tried it and once zucchini  has
risen high in cost. This is all a Roman plot!  Recipe Source: THE
