Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • 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). Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, zest lemon to get a good pinch and slice into wedges. Finely chop tomato. Thinly slice leek. Finely chop garlic • Heat a large frying pan to medium heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Toast panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add lemon zest and 1/2 garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and leek, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Add tomato and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, add garlic & herb seasoning, longlife 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.
• Divide creamy bacon spaghetti between bowls. Top with the zesty pangrattato. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
