Ingredients

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1½ tablespoons of Diamond Crystal kosher salt and the spaghetti, and cook until just shy of al dente, about 1 minute less than the package time.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced bacon, and cook until just browned, about 3–5 minutes.
3. Add the diced onion to the bacon once the bacon is crispy at the edges.
4. Add the minced garlic and ½ teaspoon of red chili pepper flakes, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent.
5. Add black pepper and the canned tomatoes with their juice.
6. Add ¼ cup of reserved pasta water, stir, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with more salt and black pepper to taste.
7. Transfer the drained spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat.
8. Sprinkle in some of the chopped parsley and toss.
9. Serve on plates topped with the grated cheese and the remaining chopped parsley.
