Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 150 grams bacon
- 300 grams cherry tomatoes
- 125 milliliters dry white wine
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the olive oil if there isn’t enough rendered fat from the bacon. Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Add the red pepper flakes and white wine to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the grated Parmesan and fresh parsley, mixing until well combined.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
