Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb penne pasta
5 -6 slices good quality bacon, sliced across into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 medium leeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
black pepper
1 round tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 tomatoes, skinned, seeds removed and diced
1 (5 1/2 ounce) package boursin cheese combined with 3 tablespoons minced mixed herbs such as thyme, sage, rosemary and parsley
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once at a full rolling boil, salt water and cook pasta to al dente.
  • In medium sized saute pan, fry the bacon until almost crisp.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • In the remaining bacon drippings, add leeks and garlic and season with pepper. Stir a few minutes to soften then add tomato paste and stir a minute more; add wine and reduce by half. Add tomatoes and heat through.
  • Stir in the cheese, reduce heat to low and cook until melted.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup starchy cooking liquid just before draining pasta, then drain, return to the pot and add sauce to the pasta.
  • Add the bacon in and toss, using starchy water to combine. Adjust the seasoning of pasta to taste, serve in shallow bowls topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my regular BLT sandwich next time.

This pasta dish was a bit too heavy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less butter in the sauce.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to the sauce, and it was much better.
