Sunday Supper - Tomato and Bacon Sauce with Pasta

This is great served with garlic bread or a nice mixed green salad.

Olive Oil
6 Slices of Diced Bacon
1 Diced Red Onion
3 Minced Garlic Cloves
Red Pepper Flakes
1 - 28 oz Diced Tomatoes
Salt and Pepper for Seasoning
Pasta (of your choice, I prefer smaller pasta like penne or orecchiette)
Shredded Parmesan for Garnish

Cook bacon until crisp and completely done. Remove bacon and discard bacon fat.

Begin bringing water to boil for pasta. Don't forget to season your water with salt.

In the same sauté pan that you cooked the bacon in, drizzle with olive oil. Add onions, season with salt and pepper and sauté until beginning to caramelize. Add garlic and season with red pepper flakes. Continue to sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently so garlic does not burn. Add diced tomatoes and keep sautéing and stirring frequently.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Once pasta is fully cooked add to a large bowl and mix in tomato and bacon sauce. Serve garnished with shredded parmesan and ENJOY!!!!

Wine pairing......Sangiovese.
