Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pasta into the water and cook for 8 to 9 minutes or as directed by the package. Once cooked, drain the pasta and place in a large baking dish or serving platter and drizzle with a little olive oil.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, just until fully crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate or tray. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
• Heat the pan with the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and black pepper and cook just until pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and let rest with the bacon.
• Add the garlic, anchovy, olives, oregano and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook, stirring, just until the garlic begins to toast, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the red wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid reduces by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the cream, bacon and shrimp to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute to bring everything together. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta to completely cover it. Or you can toss the pasta into the sauce if your pan is large enough.
• To finish the dish, grate the cheese over the top and garnish with the basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender, about 8 minutes.

• Pour chicken broth into the hot skillet, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, and bring to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, whisk in Parmesan cheese, and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Drain spaghetti, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
• Return shrimp and bacon to the skillet and simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Add spaghetti and toss all ingredients together. Whisk in some of the reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a fresh lemon wedge to be squeezed over the pasta.

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a bowl.

Stir bacon into shrimp mixture.
• Spread grits into a serving dish, top with shrimp mixture, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese for garnish.
