In our program, we are fortunate enough to be able to dissect human cadavers for anatomy. It is definitely a little weird at first, especially when seeing their faces, but you get used to it. Last week, we had to peel the skin of the face back in order to reveal the muscles underneath. This week, we went down deeper into the face and neck areas to reveal muscles, such as the sternocleidomastoid, and nerves, such as the long buccal and lingual nerves.
Ok...let's move on to the recipe! My dad actually came up with this recipe. We usually add mushrooms in there as well, but I didn't have any on hand.
You will need:
- Virgin or Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- Pasta (I used gluten free penne)
- Zucchini (I used baby zucchini that I found at Trader Joe's. Aren't they so cute??)
- Pancetta (I used "Citterio" brand. I've tried Boar's Head brand before and it tasted like salty plastic.)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
