Ingredients
1 pound linguine
Kosher salt
4 slices bacon, thinly sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely grated fontina cheese
1 lemon, zested
4 tablespoons chiffonade basil leaves
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water over medium heat to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente.
- Cook the bacon in a large saucepan, over medium heat, until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and saute until tender, roughly 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and simmer until thick, about 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the mixture. Stir in the cheese and lemon zest.
- Drain the linguine and add to the saucepan. Carefully toss the pasta in the sauce. Add the bacon and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with basil. Serve immediately while hot.
