This is a great and very simple pasta dish that combines bacon and garlic for a taste sensation! This is also good with sauteed prawns.
Ingredients

- 500g packet spaghetti
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 slices bacon, cut into 5mm pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Stir in the bacon and cook until the bacon has begun to shrink, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking and stirring until the garlic has softened and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Toss the drained pasta with the bacon, oil and parsley to serve.

Perfect side dish, perfect comfort food. To tell you the truth, have this with nothing more than a tossed green salad and some good bread and you've got yourself quite a meal. Simple perfection. - 27 Sep 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I make this all the time for a quick easy inexpensive meal or side. I throw chopped up onion, mushrooms squash or any combination of vegetables on hand while sauteing. Always a hit and an easy way to get veggies in kids...what kid does not love spaghetti!! - 26 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
