- Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and return to pot.
- To serve, toss pasta with ragout. Garnish with reserved bacon and shaved Parmesan, if desired.

I love to cook! I also love to take complicated recipes and make them simpler. Who wouldn't like to have fewer pans to wash?
