This is my recipe for pasta with bacon and creamy tomato sauce. This will feed 2 people happily, but you can of course double or triple the recipe if you want to!
For 2 people, you will need:
14 oz. (about 400 grams) of canned chopped tomatoes
3,5 oz. (about 100 grams) of bacon, chopped into small pieces.
1 small onion, chopped.
8,8 oz (about 250 grams) of pasta. I used organic whole wheat fusilli pasta.
A little less than 1/4 cup (about 59 ml) of heavy cream.
Black pepper, to taste
A pinch of salt (remember that the bacon is very salty)
Hot pepper flakes (optional)
- Preheat your skillet with high sides over medium heat, and fill a big pot with water and some salt for the pasta.
- Add the bacon to the skillet, and cook until crispy.
- Add the chopped onion, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the canned chopped tomatoes. At this point, your water for your pasta should be boiling. Add your choice of pasta to the pot with water.
- Let the tomato sauce cook for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced a bit.
- Add the heavy cream and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Drain your pasta, and mix it together with the sauce.
Enjoy!
