Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to boil.

  2. 2

    Once water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and cook the pasta until done to ALMOST al dente, about 7 minutes depending on package directions (you want it a little undercooked).

  3. 3

    Preheat broiler and set rack 12 inches from heat.

  4. 4

    As the pasta is cooking, heat a deep, large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of EVOO and add the bacon.

  5. 5

    Cook the bacon until crispy and golden brown. Taste for salt and serve when it looks done.
