ingredients
- 8 ounces whole wheat linguine
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (grape works too)
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 4 ounces manchego cheese
- salt and pepper
directions
- Heat oven to 400.
- On a baking sheet toss the tomatoes with the balsamic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Roast at 400 for 30 minutes, stirring every 7-10 minutes.
- Let cool slightly, then pulse all of the ingredients (you may have to scrape some of the bits off the sheet pan – do it, it’s worth it) in a food processor until it’s the consistency you want.
- Meanwhile crisp up the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat.
- Reserve 1 Tbsp of the drippings, turn the heat down to medium-low, and saute the onions until they are caramelized and tender.
- Cook the pasta until it’s al dente according to package directions.
- Now it’s time to assemble: in a large bowl toss the pasta with the tomato sauce. Add the onions, crumbled bacon, and chunks of the Manchego cheese. Toss it all together and serve hot (or cold) as a main course or a side.
