I was craving some creamy pasta dish but didn't feel like following a recipe and wanted it to be quick. This took me 20 minutes from start to finish and I think it tasted great! I didn't really measure anything so I am estimating here. This makes enough for 2 people.
Ingredients:
2 slices bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
12 -15 grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup light cream
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
salt and pepper
cooked pasta (i used linguine)
Directions:
1. Cook bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Turn heat down to medium and add onions. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add garlic, saute 1 minute.
4. Add tomato halves and saute another few minutes.
5. Add wine to pan and boil for about a minute.
6. Turn heat to low and add cream to pan, stirring often.
7. Add cheese and stir continuously until well mixed and thickened.
8. Crumble cooked bacon into sauce.
9. Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper according to taste.
10. Add sauce to pasta, stir it in and serve.
