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.

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.
