For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant touch of heat. Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone. If fresh herbs aren't available, dried herbs can be used, but use about half the amount. Don't discard the shrimp shells! You can use them to make a flavorful shrimp stock that can be added to the sauce.

01 Step
Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining. (Total time: 8-10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View While pasta cooks, place bacon lardons in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy and brown, rendering the fat. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. (Total time: 5-7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add olive oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Heat over medium heat. Sauté garlic, basil, and oregano in the oil for 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes and green onions, and sauté for 3 minutes, until slightly softened. (Total time: 4 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Stir in the cooked bacon, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency. (Total time: 3-5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Gently fold in the cooked shrimp and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. (Total time: 2 minutes)
06 Step
