Instructions
- Add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, heat large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While pan heats, cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.**
- Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Discard all but 1 tbsp fat from the pan.
- While bacon cooks, on a clean cutting board, thinly slice leek.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Remove tails, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add shrimp. Cook, flipping once, until shrimp just turn pink, 1-2 min per side.**
- Transfer shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-4 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan until melted, 30 sec.
- Add leek, tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until leek softens 2-3 min.
- Add cooking wine, cream, pesto, spinach, shrimp and reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened lightly and spinach has wilted, 1-2 min.
- Add sauce mixture and half the Parmesan to pot of linguine. Stir to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Divide linguine and shrimp between plates.
- Sprinkle bacon, remaining Parmesan and parsley over top.
