Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add zucchini and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Add garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Reduce heat, pour in heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan cheese. Simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly.
Return cooked bacon to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Toss in the cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water to help coat. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Serve immediately with extra Parmesan if desired.
