Spaghetti with Bacon Recipe

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling stir in the spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered stirring occasionally until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bacon and cook until the bacon has begun to shrink about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking and stirring until the garlic has softened and the bacon is crisp about 5 minutes. Toss the drained pasta with the bacon oil and parsley to serve.
