This hearty pasta dinner is loaded with bacon and tomatoes. Add some caramelized onions and a tangy balsamic sauce and you have a gourmet dinner on the double!
Gourmet Pasta On The Double
Here’s an all-season pasta dinner! It can be a cold salad too!
Balsamic Tomato and Bacon Pasta is a very versatile. Served hot, it’s a dinner, but serve it cold and it’s a delicious pasta salad.
Caramelized Onions
This pasta dish gets a lot of flavor from caramelized onions.
You can make them when you cook this, but it does add about 30 minutes to the cook time.
A much better plan is to have caramelized onions on hand…
