  • Dice the bacon. Crush the garlic. Chop the cilantro. Grate the cheese on the fine holes of a grater. Add salt and the spaghetti to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Add the frozen peas and cook 1 minute more. Fry the bacon in oil, add the garlic, and cook 3 more minutes, then remove the garlic. Add the spaghetti and peas to the pan along with 2 ladles of the pasta water. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Add salt, pepper, cilantro, and cheese, and toss well.
  • A little about spaghetti: it's a long, round-cut pasta about 2 mm thick and usually over 13 cm long. Thinner versions are called spaghettini, thicker ones spaghettoni. It originated in Italy and is a staple of Italian cooking, often served with tomato sauce, and it's the base of countless dishes—spaghetti Napoli (with tomato sauce) or spaghetti aglio e olio (with hot olive oil and lightly fried garlic), to name two. Spaghetti was born in Naples and got its name from Antonio Viviani, who in 1842 likened it to lengths of string (spago in Italian). The town of Pontedassio near Genoa even has a spaghetti museum with hundreds of seasoning and sauce recipes, and a notarial document from 1279 confirming a pasta dish called "macaronis." The town of Gragnano near Naples, home to a famous pasta festival, is documented making "maccaroni" as far back as 1502, and today the area accounts for up to a tenth of all Italian pasta factories, shipping millions of tons worldwide.
