- 300 gr shrimp (shelled, deveined) (kosher salt, ground black pepper, chili oil, lemon juice)
- 4 rashers bacon
- 1 Box Tagliatelli – cooked in boiling salted water with 1 tbsp olive oil. Do this just before you prepare your sauce.

- 1 whole garlic clove
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese

- While doing this grill the shrimp in a preheated oven at 180C for about 8 to 10 minutes or until done.
- Bring pasta to a boil while you prepare your sauce ensuring it’s cooked al dente – do not drain.
- Heat cream and add butter and add garlic clove infusing flavor.
- Stir and once the butter starts to melt remove the garlic clove.

- Without stirring using tongs, add only the pasta straight from the hot water into the cream and cheese allowing the hot pasta to melt the cheese, and now start stirring.
- If too thick ladle in some of the pasta water – when all the cheese has melted add the chicken and bacon.
- Spoon out onto a platter and place the shrimp on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, extra parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
