Method
Bacon & Panko Crust
- Place a pan over medium-high heat. Add in the diced bacon and fry for 2 minutes or until lightly browned and the fat starts to render. Add in the butter & panko bread crumbs and continue frying for 1 ½ minutes or until everything is golden and crispy. Remove and place into a bowl.
Garlic Butter Pasta
- Bring a saucepan or pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta 1 minute less than the packet instructions.
- Place a large high rimmed pan over medium-high heat. Add in the butter and bring it to a foamy stage (this will take about 3 minutes), stirring frequently. Add in the garlic, reduce the heat to low and fry for 1 minute or until golden and crispy, mixing the entire time.
- Add in the lemon juice, chilli flakes (optional) and seasoning to taste. Mix well.
- Add the al dente pasta straight from the water into the garlic butter sauce, draining off any excess water. Add in the flat-leaf parsley and mix well to combine everything. Check for seasoning, adjust accordingly and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Serve the pasta in bowls, and top with the bacon and panko crumb, cracked black pepper and flat-leaf parsley. Dig in.
