Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups hot water and 2 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While pan heats, cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips on a separate cutting board.
- When hot, add bacon pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.**
- While bacon cooks, peel then finely chop shallots.
- Remove the pan from heat. Using slotted spoon transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Carefully drain and discard all but 1 tbsp fat (dbl for 4 ppl).

- Transfer breadcrumb topping to medium bowl. Add half the bacon an half the chives. Stir to combine.
Heya Becca! please confirm that the garlic cooked within the same time range as the panko it should not be burned before the panko gets toasted.

- When hot, add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), swirl until melted 30 sec.
- Add corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred 4-5.
- Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly golden 1 min. Season with salt and pepper
- Add white wine. Cook, stirring occasionally until fragrant, 30 sec.

Hey Becca, Is the water boiled by this point? please comment on your experience here with the sauce simmering and the ravioli cooking at the same time. Does it feel too hectic?
- Add ravioli to pan with simmering sauce. Remove from heat, then stir in remaining bacon and chives.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently toss to combine, adding in pasta water 1-2 tbsp at a time as needed to loosen sauce to desired consistency.
- Divide ravioli between plates then sprinkle breadcrumb topping overtop.
Becca, please comment on sauce consistency. Is there any pooling? (CX love this!) or is it too runny and should be simmered for longer?
