Cooking

If frozen, thaw in fridge. Cook pasta (Split Orders cook ½ pasta). Reserve 1 c. pasta water, then drain pasta; do not rinse. Meanwhile, heat a frypan over medium heat. Sauté bacon & onion, stirring often, 3-4 min. Remove from heat. Stir in wine & tomato paste. Return to heat & cook briefly, until wine is nearly evaporated. Stir in tomatoes & bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 15-20 min, stirring occasionally. Toss pasta with sauce. If necessary, add some pasta water to thin the sauce. Top with parmesan (included) and fresh-ground pepper.
