Lemon-Swiss Pasta

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Black Pepper to taste
1 tsp basil
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 lemon, zested
1 lb hot, cooked linguine
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

Saute the onion and garlic in the melted butter in a large skillet until translucent. Stir in pepper flakes, black pepper, and cream and cook over medium heat until the cream is very hot. Stir in the Swiss cheese and lemon zest and cook on low, stirring often until the cheese is melted and well incorporated with the cream. Toss with the linguine and bacon and serve hot.

This was very good with the Oven Roasted Chicken Tenders Saltimbocca!
