Kimchi Bacon Spaghetti

I wanted to make a pasta dish that combined some of my favorite flavors, so I made Kimchi Bacon Spaghetti with @tenderbelly’s No Sugar Uncured Bacon. Not only is this cut tasty, it is made with real ingredients and fresh spices! 

Tender Belly can be found nationwide, but is starting to hit the shelves at more Safeway, Albertsons, and other stores near you.
