Spicy Bacon Pesto Fettuccine (สไปซีเบคอนเพสโต้เฟตตูชินี)

1.Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente, reserving a small amount of the pasta cooking water.

2.While the pasta is cooking, heat a pan over low heat. Add the olive oil, bacon, and garlic, and cook gently until the bacon is crisp and the garlic turns golden. Remove the bacon and garlic and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan.

3.Season the fat in the pan with chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Add about 4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the fettuccine and toss until the pasta absorbs the sauce, then remove from the heat.

4.Add the pesto and toss until the sauce evenly coats the pasta.

5.Transfer to serving plates. Top with Parmesan cheese, crispy bacon, and the reserved garlic. Serve hot.
