Ingredients
- 1 package Bacon
- 1 lb Linguini Pasta
- 1/2 cup Reserved Pasta Water
- 3 tbsp Garlic
- 1 Yellow Onion Chopped
- 15 oz Brie Cheese Cubed and rind removed
- 10-15 Basil Leaves Chopped

Instructions
- Using a large skillet, cook bacon strips over low heat, flipping occassionally until brown and crispy.
- While bacon is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until Al Dente (about 10-15 minutes). Make sure you reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and set aside for later.
- Transfer bacon to paper-towel lined plate, being sure to cover and pat to remove excess grease. Once cooled, slice into crumbled pieces.
- Using the same skillet with leftover bacon grease, add garlic and chopped onions. Sauté over low heat until onions carmelize to a rich brown color.
- Using a serrated knife, remove the rind from the brie and cut remaining inside into cube-sized pieces.
- Add the brie and reserved pasta water to skillet and stir continuously until thick and creamy.
- Stir in bacon and transfer to pasta bowls, garnishing with the chopped basil, salt and pepper.
- Bon appétit!
