Bacon and Parmesan Penne Pasta
Ingredients List
-
1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta
-
1 pound bacon, coarsely chopped
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 11 minutes.
-
While the pasta cooks, sauté bacon and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crispy and the onions begin to brown, around 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess grease into a small container.
-
Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Add the cooked bacon and onions along with 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the pasta and toss until evenly combined. Add more bacon grease if you desire extra flavor and moisture.
