Notes
- Plate up the dish straight away in warm bowls, as it loses heat very quickly.
- Remove bacon grease if preferred by placing on a paper towel after cooking
- Use dried spaghetti and follow the package directions instead of fresh for the perfect chewy al dente bite
- For a leaner recipe, use center-cut bacon which has the ends of the fat trimmed off
