Cook the pasta until al dente. Halve the unpeeled cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice. Fry the bacon cubes in a pan, remove the seeds, and let them drain on kitchen paper. Briefly fry the finely chopped shallots and chopped garlic in the remaining cooking fat. Then add the cucumber slices and fry over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. While the cucumbers are cooking, drain the mustard gherkins in a sieve (reserving about 100 ml of the liquid) and cut into small pieces. Then add the pasta, crème fraîche, both types of mustard, the mustard gherkins, and the cucumber juices to the cucumber slices, mix everything together, and heat through. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley and bacon cubes. This goes perfectly with pork fillet or lean pork schnitzel!
