Pesto Spaghetti With Bacon & Spinach
Recipe Information
Pesto Spaghetti
Cultural Context
Originating from the Liguria region of Italy, pesto is a vibrant sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and cheese. Traditionally served with pasta, it embodies the simplicity and freshness of Italian cooking. Pesto has gained global popularity, inspiring numerous variations and adaptations, including vegan versions that omit cheese.
Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
pine nuts
🥗Healthier: walnuts
💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds
Walnuts provide a similar texture and flavor at a lower cost.
parmesan cheese
🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast
💰Cheaper: grana padano
Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the pesto by combining basil leaves, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and garlic in a food processor.
Pulse the mixture until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency.
Season the pesto with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drain the spaghetti, reserving a cup of pasta water.
In a non-stick pan, cook the bacon and onions until the bacon is crispy and the onions are translucent.
In a large bowl, combine the hot spaghetti with the pesto and the cooked bacon and onions, adding reserved pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.
Toss until the spaghetti is well coated with the pesto and bacon.
Serve immediately.
