List of Ingredients
1/2 pound penne pasta (or rigatoni if you can't find penne)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 slices turkey bacon, chopped
3/4 cup part skim milk Ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 1/2 tablespoons hot water
Salt and pepper to tasteRecipe
Boil a pot of water and cook the penne until al dente (just done).
While water is working, heat oil in an 8-inch or larger skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion. Then add bacon and cook till almost crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and onion and place in a large bowl; add the Ricotta; mix all together and add basil, Parmesan and the hot water (scooped from the pasta pot). Stir well and set aside.
Dump half of your freshly cooked pasta into the ricotta mixture and blend well. Add the remaining pasta and mix again, this time adding a little salt and pepper to taste.
