Preparation
Step 1
Preparation:
To prepare the pasta, cook the linguini in boiling salted water until it's al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander, then toss it with the oil. Keep the cooked linguini at room temperature or cool in the refrigerator.
To prepare the sauce, place all ingredients into a Vitamix or other blender and purée until smooth, tamping down with a spatula as necessary to fully combine the ingredients.
To finish the pasta with the mix-ins, start by tossing the linguini with the sauce in a large mixing bowl until fully coated.
In a small mixing bowl, place the bacon, tomatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Make a well on top of the pasta and spoon the tomato mixture into the well. Sprinkle the feta, Parmesan, and cilantro overtop the entire dish. Serve individually in small bowls.
