This is a classic Italian pasta dish. Use fresh basil when it's in season; at other times, use fresh flat-leaf parsley. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon, diced |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes |
1 pound linguine pasta, uncooked |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook diced bacon in a large saucepan over medium high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of drippings from the pan.
2. Add onions, and cook over medium heat about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds. Add canned tomatoes, undrained; simmer 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of 4 quarts boiling salted water until al dente. Drain.
4. Stir basil into the sauce, and then toss with cooked pasta. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
