Ralph's Pasta




This is one of our family favorites and a for sure "Go-To" meal in our house. My Kylie's husband Ralph made this for us for years in Spain. Its simple, economical, and very flavorful! Mix it up by serving the sauce over many types of pasta too.

Ralph's Pasta
1 Pound of Pasta ( I use whole wheat)
28 ounce can of crushed or chopped tomatoe
small can of Tomato Paste or sauce ( optional)
Half a package of bacon ( diced)

1/2 to 1 onion diced
1-3 garlic cloves diced
3 Tablespoon of spices you like ( I use all!) Rosemary, Oregano, Basil,
Salt and pepper
Parmesean Cheese
Add 2-4 Tablespoon of Olive Oil to a large saucepan. Add: diced bacon, onion, garlic and gook until tender. Add Tomatoes and simmer. ( simmer anywhere from 20 minutes to longer if you have time.)
While sauce is cooking, boil pasta to al dente' and drain. Return to pan and add 2-3 Tablespoons of butter.
When sauce is done, serve generous helping over pasta and sprinkle with parm cheese.
I love serving this dish with my "Tomato, Moz, Garlic Bread" ( Its in recipes on my blog!)

Enjoy!
Love Jenny
