INSTRUCTIONS
BLT Pasta

1 lb farfelle (I used 3/4#)
12 bacon slices (I used 10--what I had)
1 28-oz diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
3 cup argula (I used baby spinach and just threw in until it looked good)
((argula would be very good in it but my store didn't have))
1 cup sliced green onions
1 c thinly sliced basil
1/4 c dry white wine
3/4 c Parmesan grated, 1/4 c to sprinkle on top at table-1 c total

Cook pasta firm (it will cook more later) and set aside.

Cook bacon in heavy skilled until crisp and drain. Keep 3 TB drippings and add green onions, cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes and crushed pepper. Cook about 2 minutes. Add argula (or spinach), onions, basil and bacon (broken up). Cook about 2 minutes or until argula is wilted. Stir in wine. At this point I turned it off and did other things...or you can go to next step if you are ready to eat.

Add pasta and mix in 3/4 c Parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese melts and coats pasta about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and put more cheese on top if desired.
