Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 pound orecchiette or other short pasta Grated Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomatoes, breaking them up as you go, and season with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted water, cook pasta 1 minute less than package instructions. Reserve cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.

Add sauce and pasta water to pasta and toss to combine; cook over medium-high until sauce thickens and coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate 3 cups pasta for a separate dish. Serve remaining pasta topped with Parmesan and parsley.

Cook’s Notes Store the leftover pasta in a resealable container in the refrigerator; use it to make a Pasta and Cheese Frittata.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/28/2010   Made this for Husband on a Sunday night and it he says it was delicious. The red pepper flakes give it a kick. I reserved the 3 cups of pasta and will be making the frittata some time this week.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/10/2010   The 3 saved cups of pasta is for the 'Pasta and Cheese Frittata' from Everyday Food March 2010.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/09/2010   What is the other dish that you save the three cups for?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/09/2010   Easy and delicious. My 13 month old ate it so fast I couldn't keep up with her. Saved 3 cups for the other dish and I can't wait to make it tomorrow.

Easy and delicious. My 13 month old ate it so fast I couldn’t keep up with her. Saved 3 cups for the other dish and I can’t wait to make it tomorrow.
