How to Make Bacon And Tomato Sauce For Pasta
- Chop 150g streaky bacon crosswise into small strips and fry in a large pan over medium heat until almost crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
- Chop 1 medium onion and 1-2 pimentos, then add to the pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Fry until softened, about 5 minutes.
- For a deeper flavor, increase the heat slightly to caramelize the onions for another 2 minutes.
- Add 2-3 cloves of finely chopped or pressed garlic to the pan during the last 2 minutes of onion cooking.
- Return the bacon to the pan. Add 400g canned chopped tomatoes, 1 bay leaf, a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste), and 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, oregano, or parsley) and freshly ground black pepper to taste during the last minute of simmering.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta and top with grated cheddar cheese.
