It is well known that strongly correlated neutron-proton pairs, the short-range correlations (SRC), can modify many of the nuclear properties. In this work we have introduced, for the first time, short range correlations in the calculation of the nuclear pasta phase at zero temperature and checked how they affect its size and internal structure. We have used two different parameterizations of relativistic models in a mean field approximation and the coexistence phase approximation as a first estimation of the effects. We have seen that for very asymmetric neutron-proton-electon matter, the pasta phase shrinks considerably as compared with the results without SRC and all internal structures vanish, except the simple spherically symmetric one, the droplets. Our results indicate a possible disappearance of these complicated structures as the temperature increases.
