How to make a good sauce for this recipe?

I was watching the food network a couple of weeks ago and want to try this recipe. I can't find it anywhere on the internet. First you fry bacon in a pan and add a bunch of squash and zucchini. Then you cook noodles and somehow make a white sauce. You add all the ingredients together. I have no clue how to make a white sauce that will go well with this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!



White sauce is very simple and it gets its flavor from the other ingredients





2 Tbsp. butter


2 Tbsp. flour


1 cup milk


dash salt


dash white pepper




sounds like a primivera. In that instance, I would not make a roux based sauce. I would use about 3/4 - 1 cup cream.





Fry bacon





Remove bacon





Remove most grease (or all grease and replace with butter or olive oil). The bacon fat is very flavorful but not very healthy, Traditionally you would use the bacon fat but that is your decision.





Quickly saute the Zucchini





Add the cream while the zucchini is still hard and reduce for a few minutes





Add about 1/2 cup parm cheese





add pasta and toss





Top with reserved bacon








Serve with more parm at the table
