You guys… this pasta is EVERYTHING!
This was a total experiment that came out absolutely delicious! I love when that happens!
This meal is super easy to make too. It literally took about 15 minutes to make, which makes it perfect for those busy weeknights.
All you need to make this is:
- 250 grams Calamarata (I used Gluten Free)
- 2 Tbs EVOO
- 6 slices Bacon chopped
- 20 Cherry or Grape Tomatoes halved
- 1 small Shallot finely chopped (about 2 Tbs)
- Pinch of Pepper
- Fresh Basil for garnish
Cook pasta as directed on package or until al dente. While the pasta is cooking start the rest. In a large frying pan add EVOO, heat over med/high heat. Add Shallots and Bacon. Sauté until Bacon is about half way cooked (2-4 minutes).
Add Tomatoes, sauté 2-3 minutes until Tomatoes start to break down into a sauce form. Add a bit of pasta water if it gets too dry. Drain pasta and reserve 1/2 cup of the water.
Add pasta to sauce, add in a little bit of the pasta water at a time until desired sauce consistency. Sauté 2-3 minutes Add fresh Basil for garnish and serve
