Bowties & Bacon
Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
4 to 6 slices bacon
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or 1 teaspoon minced
jalapeno pepper)
28 ounces canned, diced tomatoes, drained well
1 pound bow-tie noodles
Grated sharp cheese, like Parmesan, Asiago or Locatelli Romano
(optional)
Recipe
Cook bacon in a wide skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile,
clean and slice mushrooms. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
Cook bacon until it is crisp. Set aside on absorbent
toweling and drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the
skillet. Turn heat to high, add mushrooms, thyme and red pepper
flakes, and cook, stirring until the mushrooms shrink and darken
a little. Add diced tomatoes, heat through, then lower heat to
keep warm.
When the water boils, add 1 teaspoon salt and bow-tie
noodles. Cook until just tender, then drain and toss with
tomato mixture. Serve on plates or platter and top with
crumbled bacon.
Serve with grated cheese, if desired. For many diners, the
bacon is salty and strong enough to take the place of cheese.
Serves 4 to 6.
Serve with bread and spinach sauteed in garlic butter or
olive oil.
