Instructions
- Drop the pasta into salted boiling water and cook for two minutes less than the packet states.
- Fry the bacon lardons over a medium to high heat until they are crispy. Once crispy, remove them from the pan and just set aside.

- Get the bacon back in the pan, then add the chilli and garlic and cook for a minute.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and double cream and bring to the boil.
- Drain the pasta but keep some of the pasta water. Add the pasta into the sauce and stir well. Add some pasta water if it needs loosening up.
- Add the grated parmesan and juice of a lemon and stir well. Taste for seasoning then dish it up and serve with more grated parmesan and the zest of a lemon.

Great pasta dish, super tasty. Generous portion, we will definitely be making this again.
Made this one a few times and even the brussel sprout haters love it. My favorite to date 👍
I totally pretended I knew how to cook and delighted the in-laws with this recipe. It was fantastic and I even feel a little
More confident in the kitchen. 🙂 thank you. I cannot wait to try more.
I left out the pasta, added white cabbage to the sauce and had it with chicken. Gorgeous, thank you!
