Updated at: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 08:52:08 GMT

Step 1

Place a large pot of water over high heat to boil.

Step 2

While water comes to a boil, add a small drizzle of oil to a large skillet along with the bacon.

Step 3

Turn heat to medium and cook bacon until rendered and crisp. Remove to a paper towel to drain and set aside.

Step 4

Add shallots and green beans to the pan with the bacon drippings. Saute over medium heat until shallots are translucent and beans are starting to soften, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add in garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute longer.

Step 6

Deglaze with white wine, and scrape all the brown bits up from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Toss in cherry tomatoes, chilis and season with salt and pepper. Let cook over medium low heat, until tomatoes have burst and green beans are very tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, heavily salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta. Cook until al dente.

Step 9

Drain pasta (reserving some water), and add to the skillet with the tomatoes and green beans. Toss in the reserved bacon. Add in a splash of pasta water and pecorino. Toss to combine. Add more pasta water as needed to create a nice saucy consistency.

Step 10

Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil, toasted breadcrumbs, fresh basil, and lemon zest.
