Provided by Caroline's Cooking

Categories     Main Course

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 oz pasta (340g, approx (see notes))
4 slices smoked bacon (approx, or 5 if thin/small)
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic (or 1 if large)
1 1/2 oz sun dried tomatoes (42g, approx 12 pieces)
2 oz spinach (55g)
1/2 cup heavy cream (120ml, double cream)
1/4 cup water (60ml approx, from the pasta cooking)
Parmesan to serve

Steps:

  • Unless you have quick cooking pasta, set your pasta to cook while you make the sauce. Once it has cooked, drain but reserve the pasta water and cover the pasta to keep warm.
  • If using sun dried tomatoes that are not in oil, soak them in boiling water while you cook everything else then drain and slice (if in oil, skip soaking and just slice).
  • Cut the bacon into relatively thin slices. Warm a pan over a medium-heat and add the bacon, stirring now and then to avoid it sticking too much until it starts to release some fat.
  • While it's cooking, dice the onion and garlic relatively finely (or you can prep everything ahead, if you prefer). Roughly chop the spinach.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the bacon once it is just starting to brown, and cooking, stirring now and then, so that the onion and garlic soften.
  • Once the onion has softened, another 5 min or so, add the cream and warm to a gentle simmer. Add the little bit of pasta water, the sliced sun dried tomatoes and spinach.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until the spinach wilts down in the sauce. Add the pasta and stir through well so the pasta is well covered with the sauce. Add a little more pasta water if needed.
  • Serve, topped with some freshly grated parmesan (Note you can also mix a little into the sauce, if you like).

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure smooth and efficient cooking.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose thick-cut bacon, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and a flavorful hard cheese like Parmesan or Pecorino Romano.
  • Cook Bacon Properly: Cook the bacon until it's crispy but not burnt. This will add delicious flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use a Large Pan: Use a large pan or skillet to cook the pasta. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure that the pasta cooks evenly.
  • Season Pasta Water: Add salt to the pasta water before cooking the linguine. This will help flavor the pasta as it cooks.
  • Reserve Pasta Water: Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. This starchy water can be added to the sauce to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Combine Ingredients at the End: Add the cooked bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and peas to the pasta only after it's been drained. This will prevent the vegetables from overcooking.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: If you have them, add fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the dish just before serving. This will brighten the flavors and add a pop of color.
