Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound angel hair pasta
1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in skillet.
  • Add tomatoes and garlic to bacon grease and cook over medium heat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato sauce and asparagus. Simmer until tender, about 5 minutes more. Season asparagus mixture with salt and pepper.
  • While asparagus mixture is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve asparagus mixture over cooked angel hair pasta and sprinkle with bacon.
