Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Zest lemon to get a good pinch and slice into wedges. Thinly slice tomato. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook spaghetti, uncovered, until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain and return to pan with a drizzle of olive oil to preventing sticking.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Toast panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add lemon zest and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, add garlic & herb seasoning, cream (see ingredients) and the reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and gently stir through spaghetti, grated Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
• In a medium bowl, combine the honey and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add mixed salad leaves and tomato and toss to combine. • Divide beastly bacon spookhetti between bowls. • Top with zesty pangrattato. Serve with tomato salad and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
