Recipe Introduction
A great dish anytime of year! The following recipe serves about 4 people. If serving a larger crowd then I would double the recipe.
List of Ingredients
1 lb. bucatini pasta
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil plus a little for drizzling
6 slices canadian bacon, chopped
2 leeks, halved lengthwise, sliced, washed & dried
4 cloves grated garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, remove seeds and finely chop
2 pints of cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine
Black pepper
2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1/2 cup fresh basil , chopped
grated pecorino
1 cup of pasta water ( water you cooked the pasta in)Recipe
Cook the bucatini pasta according to the package directions.
In a deep skillet heat a drizzle of the olive oil, add the bacon and cook till crisp. Remove & reserve. To the pan drippings, add the sliced leeks, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and saute for about 2 minutes. Next add the cherry tomatoes and stir to combine. Cover pan and cook tomatoes till they begin to burst. This may take about 8 minutes or so. Uncover the pan and mash the tomatoes, add the wine and stir for about 2 minutes. Season with the peper to your taste and lower heat.
When pasta is ready, add a ladle of the pasta water to the sauce along with the parsley, bacon & pasta. Toss till all ingredients adding a little more olive oil and mix untill all are nicely combined. Turn off heat, remove from stove and toss in the basil and grated pecorino. Serve & Enjoy!
