Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned and almost crisp.
  2. Add onion to bacon and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and stir until mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in Orti Di Calabria Sauce, salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil, then simmer about 15 minutes until cooked and slightly reduced.
  5. In a separate pot, cook pasta in salted water then drain but reserve 1 cup of cooking water for later use.
  6. Pour the sauce and the cooking water over the pasta in a pot and return to stove top. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce thickens and is coating pasta, about 2 minutes.
  7. Chef's note: Serve with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
