Ingredients

1 lb angel hair pasta
salt
1/4 cup olive oil
6 ounces pancetta, chopped
1 medium red onion, peeled, cut in 1/2, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, fresh, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest (fresh and finely grated)

In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta until just al dente.
Drain and return to the pot.
Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
To the oil in the pan, add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Add the wine, 3/4 teaspoon salt, red pepper, lemon juice, and langoustines and cook, stirring, until the shellfish are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add the parsley and stir to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the shellfish mixture and toss well to combine.
Cook until the pasta is heated through, about 1 minute.
Remove from the heat, add the lemon zest, and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Spoon into individual pasta bowls or onto large plates, and serve immediately.
