Directions:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to paper towels and drain well. Let bacon cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water; then drain pasta, return to the pot and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine bacon, basil, pine nuts and garlic. Pulse until well chopped.
- Then with processor running, drizzle in olive oil until ingredients form a thick paste.
- Stop processor and scrape sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Season with salt and pepper, then pulse again to blend.
- Add pesto to pasta and toss well. Add just a bit ot the pasta cooking water and toss again. Serve topped with diced tomato.
