Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped (about 5 cups)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 thick bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
5 cups coarsely chopped fresh arugula (about 6 ounces)
2 9-ounce packages fresh fettuccine
6 ounces soft fresh goat cheese , crumbled

  • Add leeks to same skillet and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary and crushed red pepper; sauté 1 minute. Add tomato mixture and cooked bacon. Simmer until tomatoes are heated through, about 4 minutes. Add arugula and simmer until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer pasta to large bowl. Add goat cheese, 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and tomato mixture. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing additional Parmesan separately.

This recipe was a bit too unhealthy for my taste. I prefer recipes that are lower in calories and fat. I also would have preferred a different type of side dish. The salad was a bit too simple for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too expensive for my taste. I prefer recipes that use more affordable ingredients. I also would have preferred a different type of protein. The bacon was a bit too fatty for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for my taste. I prefer recipes that can be made in less than 30 minutes. I also would have preferred a different type of cooking method. The baking method was a bit too slow for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes with fewer ingredients. I also would have preferred a different type of sauce. The tomato sauce was a bit too acidic for my liking.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also would have preferred a different type of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni. The fettuccine was a bit too thin for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The goat cheese was a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella. The flavors were also a bit too strong for my liking. I think I would have

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat. I also like to use a mix of different cheeses, such as Parmesan and mozzarella. This dish

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and I added a little bit of garlic to the sauce. I also used a different type of goat cheese, but it still turned out great. I would definitely make this dish

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I was pleasantly surprised. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor that balanced out the richness of the goat cheese. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe was a hit! The combination of tomatoes, bacon, arugula, and goat cheese was perfect. The tomatoes were juicy and sweet, the bacon was crispy and salty, the arugula added a peppery bite, and the goat cheese was creamy and tangy. The fettuc
