Mom's Buccatinni Pasta With Bacon.

Delicious and easy pasta dish made with simple ingredients. Nice to have once in awhile. I use whole package of bacon and about 1 & 1/2 pasta.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb pasta (Bucatinni is nice for this-looks like spaghetti but bigger)
• 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1  large onions or 8  garlic cloves, cut into small pieces
• 3⁄4 lb bacon
• 1⁄2 cup  pasta water
•  fresh coarse ground black pepper
•  grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and cook in pan until translucent and alot of grease has come out.
2. Drain grease and leave bacon in pan, add cut onion and olive oil. Cook and stir until onion turns a nice golden brown color.
3. Cook pasta al dente (I like 11 minutes timed), drain, place back in pot and add cooked bacon & onion, or garlic and some pasta water. Add coarse black pepper.
