Step-by-Step Instructions
First, cook your pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package directions until it’s al dente. I usually stir it a couple of times to ensure even cooking. While the pasta is cooking, grab a large skillet and cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it’s crispy, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside, but don’t forget to leave a bit of that delicious bacon grease in the pan for flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
