Spaghettini with Onions, Scallions, and Garlic
- 1/4 pound sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 large onions, sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 scallions, white bulbs cut into 1/2-inch lengths, green tops chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 1 3/4 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 3/4 pound spaghettini
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- In a large deep frying pan, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon.
- Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat or, if you don't have 3 tablespoons, add enough olive oil to make up the amount.
- Put the pan over moderately low heat.
- Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.
- Cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the scallion bulbs and the garlic; cook 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until almost done, about 9 minutes.
- Drain the spaghettini and add it to the simmering broth.
- Cook until the pasta is just done, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Toss with the bacon and scallion greens.
