Directions 

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain.

In same skillet with residual bacon fat, add shallot, garlic, and chili flakes, and cook until softened and fragrant, 4 minutes. Add corn and tomatoes and cook until slightly caramelized, 5 minutes. Add trout and lightly break up with the back of a wooden spoon. Crumbled up the cooked bacon and add to the skillet.

Add pasta, basil, butter, and lemon juice, tossing to coat in corn mixture. Add reserved pasta water as needed to create a glossy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Twirl into bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
