Ingredients
- 220 grams Spaghetti
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 120 grams thick-cut bacon 5 strips, chopped into ½-inch strips
- 70 grams button mushrooms 5 mushrooms, sliced
- 70 grams mild green pepper like Anaheim chilies, sliced into rings
- 70 grams onion ½ small onion, sliced
- ⅔ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoons cultured unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the spaghetti in a pot of well-salted water (1 tablespoon per 5 cups of water) for 1-2 minutes less than what the package says.
- About 6 minutes before the pasta is ready, add the olive oil onions and mushrooms to a preheated frying pan over medium heat. Saute until the vegetables just start to brown.
- Add the bacon and continue sauteing until bacon just starts to render out some fat.
- Add the green peppers, and when the pasta has about a minute left to go, add the ketchup, along with a ladle of boiling liquid from the pasta.
- Add the soy sauce, butter, and black pepper and stir this together to emulsify the butter.
- When the spaghetti is done, add it to the sauce and finish cooking it in the sauce. If the noodles start sticking together, add more of the pasta's boiling liquid to loosen the sauce.
- When the pasta is cooked to your liking, serve the Spaghetti Napolitan with some grated parmesan cheese.
