A delicious and fresh tasting pasta sauce. The fresh basil added at the end is essential. This sauce can be left chunky (which I prefer) or blended in a food processor to a smooth sauce. Serve spooned over cooked pasta with plenty of parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful sauce, use fresh basil leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
  • If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pan when you're cooking the bacon.
  • This sauce is best served immediately over hot pasta. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Bacon and basil sauce is a quick and easy sauce that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is flavorful, creamy, and versatile. You can serve it over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. It is also a great way to use up leftover bacon. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious sauce, give bacon and basil sauce a try.
