Ingredients 

  • 12 oz fettucine, or your favorite pasta

  • 1/2 lb thick cut bacon, cut in small pieces

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 large tomatoes or 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced 

  • 1 red or yellow onion, diced

  • pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)

  • 1/3 cup red wine

  • 1 lemon

  • 1/4 cup plus more to serve, freshly grated parmesan

  • Fresh Basil for topping

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta to al dente, according to package directions

  2. Crisp bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Remove bacon to drain on a paper towel-lined plate and drain all but one tablespoon bacon fat from the pan

  3. Add olive oil, onions, garlic, and red chili flakes. Cook until onions are translucent, then deglaze the pan with the wine. (Add wine to the pan and stir up any bits stuck to the bottom)

  4. Add tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Drain pasta and add to tomato pan. Add bacon, toss with parmesan. Top with basil and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over top. The lemon juice brightens up the dish and gives it a punch of flavor.

Enjoy!
