Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add corn kernels and sauté for 9 minutes until slightly golden. 2. Add sliced onions to the pan with corn and cook until onions are soft and translucent. 3. Stir in pesto sauce, mix well, and transfer this mixture onto a serving plate. 4. In the same pan, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 5. Using the pan, sear the firm meat pieces until browned and cooked through. 6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with meat, pour in pesto sauce, and stir continuously for 9 minutes to blend flavors. 7. Stir crushed potato chips into the spaghetti mixture for a subtle crunch. 8. For the bacon topping: beat the egg in a bowl. Dip bacon slices first into flour, then egg, and then a second light flour coating. 9. Fry the breaded bacon slices in a separate pan until crispy and golden. 10. Place the crispy bacon slices on top of the spaghetti and serve immediately.
