Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 yellow onion, diced small
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound short, twisted pasta, such as cavatappi or fusilli
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cook bacon over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate. Add onion to pan and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and paprika and bring to a boil; reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until sauce has thickened slightly, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta. Return pasta to pot and add tomato sauce; toss to combine, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Add bacon and parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler pasta dish next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the pasta was a bit mushy.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make this again, but I'll use less chili flakes next time.

The sauce was delicious, but the pasta was a bit overcooked. Next time, I'll cook the pasta for a shorter amount of time.
