Easy and Excellant Pasta Dish

This dish was so easy and full of great flavor!

2 Servings

1/2 cup chopped Pancetta (or regular bacon if you can't get pancetta) Pancetta can usually be found in Italian shops
4 garlic cloves chopped
1 14 oz can chopped or crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup white wine
~12 basil leaves chopped
Cooked Penne

In a large skillet over medium heat cook pancetta until crispy (~8 minutes) remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel. Add garlic to skillet and saute for 30 seconds. Add white wine and stir to scrap up any brown bits from pancetta (~30 seconds) add tomatoes and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes. Then add cream and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add most of basil (save some for topping the pasta). Spoon sauce over pasta, top with pancetta, basil and some grated cheese.

Re: Easy and Excellant Pasta Dish

This is sooo funny....I just made bacon sauce yesterday. My recipe is even simpler!

1 lb. of lean bacon, chopped (I just trim the excess fat)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cans of crushed tomatoes
Salt/Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley to garnish

Simmer a few hours and serve w/your favorite pasta!
