Preparation

How to prepare Pasta with peppers and bacon

To prepare the pasta with peppers and bacon, first, get the ingredients ready: clean the peppers by removing the top, the filaments, and the seeds inside, then cut them into not-too-thin strips 1. Trim and slice the scallions, including the green part 2. Finally, cut the bacon into cubes 3.

Heat a large pan and brown the bacon over moderate heat 4. When it’s crispy and golden 5, remove the bacon and leave the fat in the pan. Add the scallions 6 and sauté them for a couple of minutes, still over medium heat.

At this point, add the peppers along with parsley and basil leaves 7. Salt and cook for 10-15 minutes, adding a bit of water as needed; they should become soft. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until very al dente 8. Drain the pasta into the pan with the sauce and add a ladle of the cooking water 9, then toss everything for a minute.

Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated salted ricotta and a grind of pepper 10, then add the reserved bacon 11. Mix well and serve your pasta with peppers and bacon, adding more salted ricotta and pepper to taste 12!
