\n\n1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until crispy, 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet. Set aside. Discard any excess bacon grease.<\/span>2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions, until al dente. Just before draining, reserve 1 1\/4 cups of pasta cooking water. Drain.<\/span>3. Working in the same skillet used to cook the bacon, add 2 tablespoons of butter, garlic, lemon zest, and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes, until toasted. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, the lemon juice, and mayo, whisking until smooth. Whisk in 1 cup pasta cooking water, the parmesan, and pecorino. Toss vigorously to melt the cheese. Add the pasta, the remaining 1\/4 cup of water, the arugula, and basil. Then season with salt. Toss well.<\/span>4. Plate the pasta. Then add the bacon and top with fresh parmesan, cracked pepper, and basil. Eat!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This post may contain affiliate links, please see our privacy policy for details.
