Bacon Tomato Pasta

By Frida Sofia25 min totalServes 4 servings

This is a recipe that works great as a fridge raid pasta! You can add whatever you have in your fridge and all of a sudden you have a very delicious pasta dish! I love the combination of cherry tomatoes, bacon and mushrooms! But swapping in other vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, or asparagus works just as well.

Why You'll Love This

  • Comfort food!
  • Easy to swap what's in the fridge, mushrooms, tomatoes, cream are all flexible

Ingredients

Bacon

Cooking it in the oven instead of a pan means no standing there flipping strips, and it comes out crispier and more even. Turkey bacon works if you want something lighter, just watch the time since it cooks faster.

Cherry tomatoes

They burst on their own with a little heat. Regular tomatoes work too, just dice them small first.

Mushrooms

These soak up a lot of the flavor from the pan and add some bulk to the sauce! Cremini or baby bella if you want more flavor than white button.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place bacon on a sheet pan and cook in the oven at 425°F until done. Remove from the oven, let cool, then cut into smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    While the bacon cooks, boil the pasta until al dente.

  3. 3

    In a pan over medium-high heat, saute onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil until the tomatoes start to soften and burst.

  4. 4

    Add garlic and saute for a few more minutes.

  5. 5

    Add cream and broth, and mix to combine.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked pasta to the tomato mixture. Combine, then reduce the heat to very low and let cook for a few minutes so the sauce reduces.

  7. 7

    Add the bacon. The sauce will look pretty liquid at first, but the pasta will keep soaking it up as it sits.
