Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack over indirect heat. Place a heavy-bottomed saucepot over direct heat.
- Slice the tomatoes in half. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes on the cooling rack on the grill, cut-side down, to soften and take on some smoke while you make the sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add a drizzle of olive oil to the saucepot along with the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, onions and crushed red pepper flakes if using and cook until the onions soften, an additional few minutes. Add the wine. Tie the fresh herbs together with a piece of butcher's twine and add to the saucepot.
- When your tomatoes have begun to soften, remove them from the grill. Remove the skins (they will come off really easy), add the tomatoes to the saucepot and season with salt and pepper. Close the grill and continue to cook the sauce until the tomatoes fully break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions. Using tongs, pull the pasta out and add it directly to the tomato sauce, along with 1/3 cup of the starchy pasta water. Mix to combine. The sauce will stick to the pasta. Remove the saucepot from the heat.
- Add the butter and a drizzle of olive oil to the pasta and stir to combine. Add the basil and and stir again. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan over top.
- (Alternatively, you can cook the sauce and pasta over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

SMOKEY TOMATO AND BACON SPREAD
I have made many variations of this over the years, only not with pasta sauce before. This recipe has evolved from a recipe I found on AR for tomato gravy. I have discovered that using the pasta sauce as the base instead of using tomato sauce and canned tomatoes makes this much less time consuming too.

SPICY, CREAMY, TOMATO ,BACON PASTA SAUCE
I made this last night from things in the pantry and fridge. I guess it's based loosely on Alamatriciana, though that has crisp bacon and no cream or herbs!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy based fry pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, add the bacon and garlic, and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the bacon is cooked to your liking.
- Pour in the wine, and allow to cook and reduce for a couple of minutes, then add the chilli flakes, tomato sauce, water and stock powder.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Add the cream and fresh chopped herbs and freshly ground black pepper, reheat and serve immediately over the pasta of your choice.
- We ate this last night over spinach and cheese tortellini.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful tomatoes, smoky bacon, and a robust red wine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, make sure to give it enough room to render its fat and crisp up. If you overcrowd the pan, the bacon will steam instead of fry and won't be as flavorful.
- Cook the tomatoes until they are soft and flavorful: This will help to develop the sauce's flavor and give it a rich, velvety texture.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and cook until al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. Pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Stir in the bacon and parsley just before serving: This will help to keep the bacon crispy and the parsley fresh.
Conclusion:
This pasta and bacon in smoky tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The smoky bacon and flavorful tomatoes pair perfectly with the al dente pasta, and the fresh parsley adds a bright, herbaceous note. Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
