Instructions
Pasta
Fill a large pot with water, and place on the stove on high heat. Add salt to the water, and be generous, 1-2 TB.
When water is at a rolling boil, add pasta. Put timer on for 10 minutes.
At ten minutes taste a piece of pasta to see if it is fully cooked. It may need 1 or 2 more minutes.
Drain pasta in a colander. Assemble with sauce and top with red pepper flakes and black pepper (and salt if needed). Sprinkle parmesan on top.
Sauce
Set oven to 400F.
Place bacon on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes or until cooked.
In the meantime, place garlic and 2 TB butter in a small skillet on medium/high heat. Cook until garlic is browned. Add olive oil and lemon and stir. In 1-2 minutes, add dry wine. Let the wine cook out. Add 1-2 more TB of butter. Stir in the bacon at the end.
Serve hot.
