1/2 lb bacon; cut into 1″ lengths
1 C Finely chopped yellow onion
16-oz can of diced tomatoes
1 C Packed chopped fresh basil
1/2 C Heavy whipping cream
Fresh basil sprigs; for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan-cheese; for passing (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano)
Sauté bacon pieces over medium-low heat and cook until done but not crisp.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes and chopped basil.
Simmer for about 30 minutes. (I’m always in a hurry so I don’t have time to cook it that long.)
Serve over penne.
