It&#8217;s quick and easy to prepare, making it a great meal for busy weeknights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you love traditional Italian carbonara, this bacon pasta recipe will be a great addition to your weeknight meals. While spaghetti carbonara is a creamy sauce made from guanciale, an egg mixture (or heavy cream), we&#8217;ve swapped out the egg for a rich tomato sauce that allows the bacon to shine. Enjoy a taste of home with every satisfying bite!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bacon Pasta Ingredients<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spaghetti:<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Spaghetti provides a firm base that absorbs the rich flavors of the sauce and bacon, creating a satisfying bite with each forkful. Bucatini is another pasta shape that works well here. For a gluten-free option, use rice or quinoa pasta.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon strips:<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Chopped bacon adds a crispy, smoky element to the dish, enhancing the overall flavor profile with its savory richness. In a pinch, diced ham or prosciutto will work nicely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> One chopped medium onion add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor, balancing the bacon&#8217;s smokiness and the tomatoes&#8217; acidity. Shallots can be used for a milder taste, or leeks for a slightly sweeter and more delicate flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomatoes:<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Diced tomatoes provide a juicy, tangy base for the sauce, adding freshness and a bit of acidity that complements the bacon and onions. Fresh cherry tomatoes can also be used, and fire-roasted tomatoes can be used for a smokier flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato sauce:<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> This creates a cohesive, rich sauce that binds all the ingredients together, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Crushed tomatoes can be used for a chunkier texture, or a tomato-based marinara sauce for added herbs and spices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley (optional):<\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Minced parsley adds a bright, fresh finish to the dish, providing a mild herbal note. Fresh basil or oregano can be used instead, or the garnish can be omitted entirely if preferred.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Directions<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 1: Cook the spaghetti<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Bacon-Pasta_TOHD24_4145_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Bacon Pasta recipe photo of the cooked pasta.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

I made this today for my mom. I used a chopped clove of garlic when sauteeing the onions, diced tomatoes with chilis inside as one of the sauces, a drop of milk and veg. oil when boiling the noodles, a tsp butter to grease the pan, and last but not least topped it with mozzarella and parmesan in the oven. Tasted a little like bacon pizza, but even better because it's healthier and the red sauce just infiltrated the noodles. I only cooked 20m but then I halved the recipe too. It was luscious! Just creamy, savory, with a hint of smoke from the bacon and subtle heat from the chilis.. Would be a major hit with children I bet. Could sub Salami\/Prosciutto for bacon if you want and I think it'd still be good. The only regret I had was I didn't add mushrooms because I think they would've worked well here.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-09-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OliveSushi"},"reviewBody":"My grandmother, Mom and I have used this recipe since I was a child.
