Wine Pairings by @grapefriend

The herbal, very light red Schiava will be able to match both the bacon and the vegetables.

5. Finish Pasta: Remove pan from heat. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To Serve: Divide pasta evenly between 2 bowls or plates.

Pro Tip:

Cooking the pasta with the sauce may seem different, but it allows the noodles to soak up the bacon and garlic flavors. Add ¼ to ½ cup more water if needed as the pasta cooks.
Spice it Up!: Stir in some of the basil that’s taken over your garden.
