So it's actually called "Pasta with Bacon and Basil," but my kids have always gotten a kick out of calling it 'Tomato Bacon Basil Pasta'... For some reason you have to take a big deep breath in order to get the entire name out...
WAAAAAY back when we were seriously starving college students living in a trailer park in on-campus housing, we had a good friend bring this yummy dish to us and it has been a favorite ever since. We make it almost as often as macaroni and cheese. It's pretty much the same thing, only in a fancy sort of way...
Pasta with Bacon and Basil
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and shredded into bits
1 large tomato, diced
12 oz. thin spaghetti noodles, cooked
1-2 tablespoons dried basil
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup milk
onion salt to taste
Pour into a large bowl; toss, and serve warm.
This would also be yummy minus the bacon for those of you who prefer it that way. :o)
Sooo good served with a tossed green salad and crispy, warm, homemade french bread. Also good with nothing else. That would be how we ate it this time...
Enjoy!
