RayRay gives us stuff in a pan...

Not bad...

Tonight's dinner came from a Rachel Ray mélange. She gives us pasta with bacon, tomatoes and cheese. All wonderful things, by themselves...together, they aren't bad...

I don't have the recipe in front me so let's see if I can get this right.

Boil a shapely pasta until al dente.

Fry up cut up bacon until crispy. Remove to a plate to drain. In the pan, with the fat, saute one onion, diced. When soft and just starting to brown add four gloves of garlic, minced. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Add 1/2 cup of wine. Simmer until reduced. Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water from the cooking pasta. Simmer for a few minutes. Add a pack of grape tomatoes. Cook for a minute until they are about ready to burst. Add the pasta. Cook for a minute, the sauce will start to soak in. Add basil, cubes of fresh mozzarella (1 cup?) and freshly grated parm. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.
