Macaroni Cheese With Bacon Pine Nuts Recipes

PASTA WITH BACON, CHEESE, LEMON AND PINE NUTS

Pasta With Bacon, Cheese, Lemon and Pine Nuts image

For home cooks, the most useful recipe is the one that lets you feed many tastes with a single dish. This one starts out small -- pasta with butter and cheese -- but can be expanded with pine nuts, lemon zest, brown butter, bacon and herbs into something satisfying. This kind of "modular" meal, which everyone at the table can add to or subtract from, is a great family dinner solution. You prepare one tasty base element, like warm tortillas or pasta or salad greens. After that, it's about piling on -- or politely passing on -- all the garnishes at the table.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 ounces thickly sliced bacon, cut across into pieces about 3/4-inch wide
1 to 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan, in a small serving bowl
About 1/3 cup chopped parsley, scallions or mint, in a small serving bowl
Hot red pepper flakes, in a small serving bowl
1 large lemon
1 1/2 to 2 pounds pasta
4 to 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 to 1 stick)
1/3 cup pine nuts
Coarse salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

Put a large pot of salted water on to boil. Put the cheese, herbs and red pepper flakes on the table. Zest the lemon and put the zest on the table in a small serving bowl. Cut the lemon in half.
Put bacon in a medium-size heavy pot and turn the heat on low. Cook, turning occasionally, until fat has rendered and bacon is chewy-crisp, about 10 minutes. Lift out bacon pieces and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm on top of the stove.
When the water boils, add pasta, stir well and cover. When the water comes back to the boil, uncover and stir again.
Put 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan and melt it over medium-low heat. When it foams, throw in the pine nuts and cook, shaking the pan, until they turn brown and toasty. Turn off heat and squeeze the lemon into the pan, cupping your hand underneath to catch any pits. Stir and set aside. Transfer bacon to a serving bowl and place on the table.
As soon as the pasta is tender (it will cook a bit more later on), drain it, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Immediately return the pasta to the pan over low heat. Toss in a chunk of butter. Add a splash of cooking water and a pinch of salt, stir well, cover and let rest 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasonings until the pasta is completely cooked and tasty (but plain).
For those who like plain pasta or pasta with just butter and cheese, set aside a good amount in serving bowls. For others, pour the pine nuts and butter into the pasta remaining in the pot, add another splash of cooking water, and toss to combine. Serve from the pot or in a serving bowl, passing the various toppings.
