This delicious pasta dish combines crispy bacon with a rich tomato sauce, infused with garlic and onions, and spiced up with red paprika. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal for two!

Steps

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the tomato sauce, red paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, mixing until well coated.
Serve hot, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.

Tips for Spicy Bacon Tomato Pasta

A glossy sauce that clings to the pasta is the cue that it is well coated; a dry-looking finish can mean the sauce has reduced too far.
Keep an eye on the bacon as it crisps: small diced pieces can go from golden to overly dark quickly.
Have the pasta ready when the sauce is simmered so it can be combined while both are hot; the listed 20 minutes is a tight total.
