5. If using bacon, add it to the hot oil first and cook until it starts to crisp before adding the lime rind, garlic, chilli and capers.
6. Cook for a minute or until fragrant.
7. If using prosciutto, stir it in at this point and cook for two minutes or until crisp.
8. Add the spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat and heat through.
