Cooking Steps

Cook linguine
1

Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.Wash and dry all produce. Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain linguine and return to the same pot, off heat.

Cook bacon
2

Meanwhile, line a plate with paper towels. Cut bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut bacon with ease!) Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: Reduce heat to medium if bacon is browning too quickly!)Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Reserve bacon fat in the pan. (NOTE: You will use the pan again in step 4.)

Prep
3

Meanwhile, drain corn. Halve tomatoes.

Cook veggies
4

Heat the pan with bacon fat (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add tomatoes and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften, 3-4 min.

Make sauce
5

Add garlic puree and Cream Sauce Spice Blend to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are coated, 30 sec. Add cream and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with pepper. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Remove from heat.

Finish and serve
6

Add spinach, sauce, half the bacon, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with linguine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir until spinach wilts, 1 min. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired!) Divide linguine between bowls. Sprinkle crispy shallots, remaining bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
