Tuna Smokey Bacon Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a pan. When bacon is done, drain on papertowels.
• Keep the bacon grease in the pan. (Note: You can reduce the amount of bacon grease you use if you so choose, just keep enough so it doesn't get dry).
• Put the tuna and garlic in the pan with the bacon grease and heat over medium heat - stirring occasionally. Do this for approximately 5 minutes.
• Season with black pepper (optional).
• Crumble the bacon strips and place back in the pan with the tuna & garlic.
• Heat for another minute or two.
• Boil your angel hair pasta.
• When pasta is done put into a large bowl.
• Transfer your bacon & tuna mixture from the pan into the bowl of pasta.
• Toss all ingredients to incorporate all the flavors.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the bacon for 3-4 mins until just starting to crisp. Stir in the onion and cook for another 3-4 mins, then add the garlic and smoked paprika, and cook for 1 min more.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes, bring to the boil and bubble for about 5 mins until thickened, stirring every so often to stop it catching on the bottom. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Serve with Parmesan, if you like.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted to a boil. Meanwhile, cut sliced bacon crosswise into thin slivers, or slice pancetta into julienne. Add pasta to boiling water and cook to taste.
• While pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter. Add bacon or pancetta and a sprinkling of pepper, and fry until golden and crisp. Immediately add frozen peas and stir for a minute or two. Add crème fraîche or heavy cream and chopped mint.
• Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta. Add pasta to the skillet and stir. Add lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. The mixture should be thick; if desired, a splash of the pasta water may be added to the sauce to thin it slightly. Add Parmesan and stir to mix. If desired, serve with a green salad.

Steps:

• 1. Cook pasta (I prefer egg noodles or spiral pasta) to Al Dente and drain.
• 2. Saute Celery & onion in butter or olive oil 3-4 minutes.
• 3. Place pasta in greased casserole dish. Pour mixture over top and.
• very gently stir into pasta until mixed well.
• 4. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
• 5. Spread bacon bits, shredded cheese, and french fried onions on top. Cook an additional 5 minutes, uncovered.
• ** I usually cook this in a deep 9 x 9 casserole dish. If using something larger, you probably want to change the initial bake time to 20 minutes (or less - until it's bubbly).
