Steps

  1. Boil spaghetti for 6 minutes or so, just until al dente. Drain when ready.
  2. As the water for the spaghetti is brought to a boil, start heating olive oil in a medium saucepan and sauté the bacon until the fat is just clear.
  3. Add the onion and sauté until soft.
  4. Add crushed red pepper and cook 2–3 minutes more.
  5. Add the tomato sauce and heat through.
  6. Remove from heat, add Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately over spaghetti. You may garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.
