Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 lices Bacon (about 4 oz.), diced
  • 1 ½ cups yellow onion (about ½ of a large onion / 8 oz.), finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 28 oz. fresh Roma tomatoes (about 8 tomatoes) diced
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 16 oz. penne pasta cooked

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or braiser pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the bacon, onion and garlic. Cook until the bacon just begins to turn pink and the onion is golden, about 8-9 minutes.
  3. Add the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 10-12 minutes. The onion and garlic will deepen in color from golden to dark brown. This is OK!
  4. Add the tomatoes, their juices and the sugar. Season with the salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water until it's al dente. Follow the package directions. Drain and return the pasta to the pot.
  7. Once the sauce has thickened, add the pasta to the sauce. Cook, stirring consistently, for 1 minute, until all the pasta has been coated.
  8. Spoon the pasta and sauce into bowls. Garnish with freshly ground parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Enjoy immediately.

Notes
