This is a recipe that was in my Sunday newspaper and the American Profile by Kathy Dicharo of Bryan, TX. She says: Where I work we have Food Day every other month when everyone brings a dish. This pasta dish is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients, but it is big on flavor. I use bowtie pasta because it looks so pretty but any kind of pasta can be used. This recipe is a favorite for all the workers! . It is true that this is DELICIOUS and very rich.The article said 12 servings and it is rich enough that 12 is possible but they would be very small servings. We 8 dinner-sized servings. Ingredients:
1 lb uncooked bow tie pasta |
1 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil |
8 ounces pepper bacon (or bacon with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper) |
1 (10 ounce) jar basil pesto |
1 cup grated romano cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain tomatoes, reserving some of the oil. Cut tomatoes into julienne strips.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain and crumble.
3. Drain pasta, shake off excess water and place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and pesto; mix well. Add bacon and Romano and toss well. For a moister consistency, add some of reserved sun-dried tomato oil. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately.
