Caramelized Onion & Garlic Pasta image

This full-flavored recipe is the result of my mom's love of pasta and our love of cooking together. With a bit of pepper heat and smoky bacon, the entree is excellent alone or paired with grilled chicken. -Lacy Jo Matheson, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to this pasta and it was delicious! It gave the dish a little bit of extra sweetness and acidity.
