Veggie Pasta, serves 2:
6oz Fusilli or similar pasta 4oz Fresh Mozzarella cut into bite sized pieces, or buy the pearl sized version. 1.5 cups your favorite tomato sauce. I make a maranara for it, but you can use store bought if you want. 1 red onion diced 2 med carrots diced 1 celery stalk diced 4oz bacon chopped Parmesan Regianno for serving. (Not the crap in the green can, get the real stuff.)
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain in a colander.
Cook bacon in a skillet to desired doneness, save a tablespoon or so of the grease after cooking. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Sample bacon to make sure it's OK.
In now empty skillet add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook till all veggies are softened. Sample bacon to make sure it's OK.
Add sauce and reserved bacon to skillet to the veggies. Be sure to sample bacon before adding back to the skillet, to make sure it's OK. Once the sauce is heated, add the pasta and fresh mozzarella to sauce and veggies. Once warmed through divide between two plates. Serve with the Parmesan at the table.
I make this dish for my wife and I several times a month. It's about 30 minutes from getting everything out to cut, to putting it on the table depending on your knife skills.
