Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon until crispy*, roughly chop it, and set it aside.
  2. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the drained and rinsed hearts of palm noodles and boil for about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set the noodles aside.
  3. In a large skillet on medium-low heat, add olive oil and garlic. Sauté the garlic until it is soft and slightly brown but not burnt, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the capers, tomatoes, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper. Sauté 2-3 minutes.
  5. Toss in the pasta and crumbled bacon. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  6. Add the basil and stir to combine everything thoroughly.
  7. Serve in bowls.

*Bacon can be cooked in the air fryer, oven, or in a pan on the stovetop.
