Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound orecchiette pasta (or any other pasta will do!)
- 8 strips of bacon, cut into bite sized pieces
- Two 14 ounce cans diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt it well. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Save 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium high heat until crispy. Scoop out the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low, and carefully add both cans of tomatoes to the skillet, along with the sugar. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add drained pasta to the tomatoes, along with parsley, butter and cooked bacon. Stir until well combined and heated through. Thin the sauce with a little pasta water if you want it a little looser.
- Divide among heated bowls and serve!
