Ingredients

2 tablespoons kosher salt
16 ounces spaghetti pasta
1 pound thick-cut bacon or pancetta, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup red onion, diced
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup red wine
4 tablespoons basil, chiffonade
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large stock pot, boil 3 quarts of water, when boiling add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the pasta and cook until the pasta is al dente.

Im only 15 and a beginning cook and I absolutely love this recipe. I did it for my family and I have to say it was a succes... and now that my grandparents are coming over for Christmas they requested that I do this dish for them.

This was just a great twist on a pasta. Instead of using "pork/bacon" I used turkey bacon and it tasted great. My family... loved it and I am going to make this again and again and again. Read more
