So the boys and I loved this, and the second day Aaron had it he also really enjoyed it. Noah and I gave it a perfect 10, and Owen gave it a 9, and if the way Jonah gobbled it up was any indication, I would say he gave it a perfect 10 as well. Aaron gave this a 7 the first night, but he said he really enjoyed it for lunch the next day. I found this in Michael Symon's 5 in 5 cookbook, and it was so great. I will be trying it again with Heirloom tomatoes in the summer time. This comes together super quickly if you have everything prepared ahead of time, so a great weeknight meal! Each serving was about 400 calories (it was hard to know exactly how much bacon fat there was) for eight servings, and here's what to do:
1 lb angel hair pasta
1 c diced bacon
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 c medium-diced tomatoes (I used around 6 roma tomatoes I think)
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 c torn fresh basil leaves
1 T extra-virgin olive oil for finisher
Cook the pasta in well salted water until al dente, reserving 1 c pasta water. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, reserving all the drippings. Add the garlic, then the tomatoes, and stir and cook for about 1 minute. Add in the pasta and the reserved pasta water, then stir in the basil, Parmesan and olive oil. Season and serve.
Ooh, this sound really good. And your dad could just remove the bacon that I love. This one I will try. Love mom
