Orecchiette with Bacon and Tomato Sauce

From pleclare 15 years ago

Bacon and red-pepper flakes give basic tomato sauce an extra kick. A little of each gives the sauce a slightly spicy,smoky flavor.

In med saucepan,heat oil over med-high. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp,about 4 mins. Add onion,cook till softened,3 to 5 mins. Add garlic and red pepper -flakes and stir till fragrant,1 min. Add tomatoes,breaking them up as you go,and season with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil;reduce heat to a simmer and cook till slightly reduced,15 mins.
Meanwhile,in large pot of salteed boiling water,cook pasta 1 min less than directions. Reserve 1 c water;drain pasta and return to pot.
Add sauce and pasta water and toss to combine;cook over med-high till sauce thickens and coats pasta,about 2 mins. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley and serve.
