Amatriciana

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

4 slices Bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped Onion
1 teaspoon minced Garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed Tomatoes
1 pound uncooked Linguine
1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Basil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Cook diced bacon in a saucepan over medium high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the pan.
Add onions, and cook over medium heat about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds. Add canned tomatoes, undrained; simmer 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of 4 quarts boiling salted water until al dente. Drain.

Stir parsley or basil into the sauce, and then toss with cooked spaghetti.
