BACON AND TOMATO PASTA
Steps:
- In a large stock pot, boil 3 quarts of water, when boiling add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the pasta and cook until the pasta is al dente.

Drain pasta and add to the tomato mixture pan. Add basil and bacon. Toss with Parmesan, and add salt and pepper, to taste.
Tips for Making Bacon and Tomato Pasta
- Choose the right pasta. A short pasta, such as penne or rigatoni, is best for this dish. The small pieces of pasta will hold the sauce well and won't get lost in the tomatoes.
- Use good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will give the pasta a more robust flavor. If you can, find bacon that is smoked over hardwoods, as this will add an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the bacon, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the bacon to steam instead of fry, and it will not get crispy.
- Cook the tomatoes until they are soft. Simmer the tomatoes for at least 15 minutes, or until they are soft and have released their juices. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce.
- Add the pasta to the sauce. Once the sauce is simmering, add the pasta and cook it according to the package directions. Stir the pasta occasionally so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Serve the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a salty, nutty flavor to the dish. You can also add other toppings, such as chopped basil or red pepper flakes.
