    Recipe



    In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat oil; add garlic and peppers. Simmer until garlic starts to brown; DO NOT BURN. Remove from heat and set aside. In extra-large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon; drain on paper towels, then chop. Pour off and discard bacon grease, but do not wash skillet. Strain olive oil mixture to remove garlic and peppers. Add strained olive oil to skillet; over medium heat, cook onion until tender. Add tomatoes, artichokes, and chopped bacon; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, drain. Add basil to tomato mixture; remove from heat. Toss hot pasta with tomato mixture and cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with additional cheese, if desired. Makes 16 servings.
