Preparation

Step 1

1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once
the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta
uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but still firm to
the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bacon, and
cook until the bacon has begun to shrink, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and
continue cooking and stirring until the garlic has softened, and the bacon is crisp,
about 5 minutes. Toss the drained pasta with the bacon, oil and parsley to serve.
