How To Make linguine with bacon and scallops

Step 1

Fry the bacon in a large heavy skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces. Discard the bacon fat and heat the olive oil in the same skillet over moderate heat.

Step 2

Saute the onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.
Step 3

Add the scallops and bacon and cook over high heat until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes - do not over cook the scallops. Toss the cooked pasta with the scallop mixture and serve immediately.
