Great simple pasta dish. Good to have the night before a race. This is also good with sauteed shrimp.
Ingredients
- spaghetti: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
- olive oil: 0.25 cup
- slices bacon: 8 piece (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
- garlic: 4 clove (minced)
- fresh flat-leaf parsley: 0.5 cup (chopped)

Stages of cooking
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
-
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bacon, and cook until the bacon has begun to shrink, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and continue cooking and stirring until the garlic has softened, and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Toss the drained pasta with the bacon, oil, and parsley to serve.
