Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb penne pasta
5 -6 slices good quality bacon, sliced across into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 medium leeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
black pepper
1 round tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 tomatoes, skinned, seeds removed and diced
1 (5 1/2 ounce) package boursin cheese combined with 3 tablespoons minced mixed herbs such as thyme, sage, rosemary and parsley
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once at a full rolling boil, salt water and cook pasta to al dente.
  • In medium sized saute pan, fry the bacon until almost crisp.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • In the remaining bacon drippings, add leeks and garlic and season with pepper. Stir a few minutes to soften then add tomato paste and stir a minute more; add wine and reduce by half. Add tomatoes and heat through.
  • Stir in the cheese, reduce heat to low and cook until melted.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup starchy cooking liquid just before draining pasta, then drain, return to the pot and add sauce to the pasta.
  • Add the bacon in and toss, using starchy water to combine. Adjust the seasoning of pasta to taste, serve in shallow bowls topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

I'm not a fan of bacon, so I used tofu instead. It was still really good!

I added some chopped jalapeƱo to this dish and it gave it a nice kick. I also used a whole wheat pasta, which made it a bit healthier.
