Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Chop the bacon into 1cm pieces. Thinly slice the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Peel the zucchini into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Zest the lemon until you have 1 tsp for 2 people / 2 tsp for 4 people, then halve.
Add the penne to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Return the pasta to the saucepan.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the bacon and cook until browned, 6-7 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the zucchini, garlic and lemon zest and cook until softened and fragrant, 2 minutes.
Add the baby spinach leaves and stir through until slightly wilted. Add the cooked penne and red pesto and toss to combine. Add a splash of pasta water to help the sauce coat the pasta. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice. TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with salt, pepper or lemon juice if you wish!
Divide the red pesto, bacon and zucchini penne between bowls. Crumble over the fetta and scatter over the pine nuts and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using).
