Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Discard 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and discard the remaining water.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp.
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and pat dry on paper towels; reserve about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat in the pan and discard the rest. - Add the leeks to the skillet with the remaining fat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft. Add the heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
- Add the pasta and Parmesan cheese, half the bacon, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet; shake to combine, adding enough of the pasta cooking liquid to loosen the mixture.
Before serving, top with the remaining bacon, some more Parmesan and parsley.
