  2. ).
  3. Put a medium pot of salted water on, and bring to a boil.
  4. Meanwhile, begin frying bacon in a medium-sized skillet.
  5. Continue cooking both, strain pasta in colander when cooked through, and drain bacon, reserving about 1 Tbsp fat, and set bacon aside on a paper towel.
  6. In frying pan, sautee nuts till they have some crunch to them, and set aside.
  7. Add green beans and garlic, and sautee till beans are tender.
  8. Add red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and a splash of red wine vinegar.
  9. Sautee another minute, and tear in some fresh basil, as much as you like, letting it wilt slightly, but still retaining it's colour.
  10. Turn off heat, and in a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the pasta, the green bean/garlic mixture, the nuts and the bacon, and whichever dressing you have decided to use.
  11. Mix well, and sprinkle in as much parmesan or romano as you see fit, season as needed.
