  • Strain, then return cavatappi to the pot, off heat. 
Cook bacon

  • Meanwhile, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bacon in a single layer.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-14 min, until bacon is crisp and cooked through.**
  • Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
  • When cool to touch, crumble or cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook veggies

  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
