Bucatini Pasta Recipe with Lemon Garlic Sauce

Sometimes you just want a light pasta dish. Can I interest you in Bucatini Pasta Recipe with a Lemon Garlic Bacon Sauce?

Okay I know what you’re thinking, the bacon just made this dish “not light”. But it isn’t THAT much bacon, I promise.

Let’s talk about the pasta now. I personally never loved true “spaghetti”. I like my noodles fat. Buccatini is essentially just fat spaghetti noodles with a hollow center. It’s basically just pasta straws. Have you ever tried it? I am going to say that bucatini is the best long pasta that ever existed and ever will exist. And Bon Appetit wrote an article titled just that.

My boyfriend, C, says I am that girl that went to Italy once and won’t stop talking about it… It’s true. I am shamelessly that girl. Italy was the most beautiful place I have ever been. And I think I could spend my life trying to figure out how to make pasta taste as DAMN good as the locals make it.. I’ll figure it out one day. For now, I will buy boxed bucatini and dress it up with my own ingredients, see below :  )

So here is a gluten free bucatini, here is a paleo pasta, and here is a Semolina pasta. Choose your pick. I personally use a gluten free pasta, unless I’m cooking for C who only likes the “real stuff”.  Make it paleo by using the paleo pasta brands, like Cappello’s.

Some of my friends have been asking me for easy recipes to cook with their significant other or roommates. This recipe is perfect for that occasion. It is fancier than regular spaghetti but it is very easy to make! If you want to add more protein, top it with some black drum or shrimp!
