How to Make Linguine with Bacon and Scallops

Step-by-Step

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.
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.
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.
