Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup ramp, wild leek
1 teaspoon capers
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound penne pasta
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Cut a small "x" into the bottom of each tomato.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add tomatoes to the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds until skin starts to peel off. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Immediately immerse in the ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain, peel, and chop.
  • Combine tomatoes, ramps, capers, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a blender; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add bacon and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato-ramp mixture and cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pasta water and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
  • Drain penne and mix with sauce.
