Directions
From: Patricia Williams <PIE@...> Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1996 11:32:44 +0000 Cook bacon in medium skillet until just beginning to brown. Drain all but 1 teaspoon or so of fat. Return bacon and fat to skillet. Add onions and garlic and saute until softened. Add tomatoes and ¾ cup of basil and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer on low about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with a few drops of olive oil to prevent sticking. Keep warm.
Pour cream into tomato mixture and heat through. Top individual servings of pasta with sauce. Garnish with remaining basil and grated cheese.
