Ingredients:

Serving

2 -3 cups of a shortcut pasta (rotini, bowties, etc.)
3 -4 slices raw bacon, cut in small 1-2-inch pieces
1/3 cup pecans or 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
3/4 cup green beans , cut in 1-2 inch sections (frozen or fresh is fine)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 ts. fresh cracked black pepper
splash red wine vinegar
fresh basil
salt , to taste
grated parmesan cheese
use either 1/3 cup of pre-made italian dressing
3 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano

Directions:

(If making dressing, now is a good time to start, at the beginning!).
Put a medium pot of salted water on, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, begin frying bacon in a medium-sized skillet.
Continue cooking both, strain pasta in colander when cooked through, and drain bacon, reserving about 1 Tbsp fat, and set bacon aside on a paper towel.
In frying pan, sautée nuts till they have some crunch to them, and set aside. Add green beans and garlic, and sautée till beans are tender.
Add red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and a splash of red wine vinegar. Sautée another minute, and tear in some fresh basil, as much as you like, letting it wilt slightly, but still retaining it's colour.
Turn off heat, and in a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the pasta, the green bean/garlic mixture, the nuts and the bacon, and whichever dressing you have decided to use. Mix well, and sprinkle in as much parmesan or romano as you see fit, season as needed.
Enjoy!
