Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh Spaghetti
  • 1/4 pound Double-Smoked Bacon (small diced)
  • 2 cups corn
  • 3 Cloves Garlic (sliced)
  • 1/2 Parsley (roughly chopped)
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt so that it tastes like the sea.

  2. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the Bacon.

  3. Render the Bacon for about 3 minutes, until it begins to crisp.

  4. Add the Corn and Garlic to the Bacon and cook for another 2 minutes, until the Vegetables soften.

  5. Meanwhile, add the Spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 4 minutes.

  6. Remove the Pasta from the pot and add directly into the Bacon and vegetable mixture. Add a couple ladles of the pasta water, stirring to make a sauce.
