Asparagus Bacon Roll Spaghetti

Elevate your weeknight dinner with this elegant fusion dish. Crispy bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles pair perfectly with spiral pasta in a savory tomato sauce.

Ingredients

• 200 g asparagus spears
• 6 slices bacon
• 200 g spiral pasta
• 1/2 onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp spicy soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp parsley garlic salt
• 1 shot spirits

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the asparagus

   

   Take fresh asparagus spears and cut them into uniform lengths on a cutting board. If the ends are woody, you can snap them off easily to ensure the tender parts are used.

   Tip: If the asparagus can be snapped off easily, you dont need to peel it.
2. 2Wrap with bacon

   

   Take the cut asparagus spears and wrap each bunch tightly with a slice of raw bacon. Ensure the bacon is wrapped securely around the asparagus.

   Tip: Make sure the bacon covers the asparagus evenly for consistent cooking.
3. 3Secure the bundles

   

   Once each bunch of asparagus is wrapped tightly with a slice of raw bacon, insert a toothpick through the bundle to ensure it holds its shape securely during cooking.

   Tip: Place the toothpick through the bacon and asparagus to ensure a firm hold.
4. 4Slice the onion

   

   Carefully slice the onion into thin, uniform strips on your cutting board. These will be sautéed to add flavor and sweetness to the dish.

   Tip: Keep the slices thin so they cook evenly and integrate well with the pasta.
5. 5Sauté the onions

   

   Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion slices and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

   Tip: Watch the heat to ensure the onions soften without burning.
6. 6Add the pasta

   

   Add your pre-boiled spiral pasta to the pan with the sautéed onions. Toss the ingredients together to combine the flavors.

   Tip: Add the pasta while it is still warm for better sauce absorption.
7. 7Season the pasta

   

   Add the boiled pasta to the pan with the sautéed onions. Incorporate the spicy soy sauce, tomato paste, sugar, and parsley garlic salt to coat the noodles evenly, ensuring all flavors are well combined.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of spicy soy sauce to control the heat level according to your preference.
8. 8Flambé for aroma

   

   Pour a shot of spirits into the pan with the seasoned pasta. Carefully ignite the alcohol to flambé the dish, which adds a complex, charred aroma and a luxurious finish to the meal.

   Tip: Keep a lid nearby to quickly cover the pan if the flames get too high, ensuring safety while cooking.
9. 9Cook the pasta

   

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spiral pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly before adding to your seasoning pan.

   Tip: Salt the water generously before adding the pasta to enhance its base flavor.
