Linguini with Bacon and Scallops pairs tender pasta with crispy bacon and sweet, just-cooked scallops in a garlicky white wine sauce. Bright parsley and a whisper of lemon zest lift the richness, while a touch of heat keeps it lively. Ideal for a weeknight dinner that still feels special and restaurant-worthy.

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine at a boil until slightly firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
2

Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and bacon until the onion is tender and the bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes. Add the scallops, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt; cook and stir until the scallops are cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine; cook for 1 minute.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the parsley into the scallop mixture. Top the linguine with the scallop mixture and garnish with lemon zest.
