Tuna & Bacon Pasta Fina image

This is a recipe that I have been making for years. It's always a favorite. You can tweak the ingredients to your own tastes if you so choose. My brother likes to add minced onions to the saute. It's quick, it's easy & tastes great!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 lb bacon
1 (6 1/2 ounce) packet tuna in water, may use canned tuna drained
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
black pepper
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a pan. When bacon is done, drain on papertowels.
  • Keep the bacon grease in the pan. (Note: You can reduce the amount of bacon grease you use if you so choose, just keep enough so it doesn't get dry).
  • Put the tuna and garlic in the pan with the bacon grease and heat over medium heat - stirring occasionally. Do this for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Season with black pepper (optional).
  • Crumble the bacon strips and place back in the pan with the tuna & garlic.
  • Heat for another minute or two.
  • Boil your angel hair pasta.
  • When pasta is done put into a large bowl.
  • Transfer your bacon & tuna mixture from the pan into the bowl of pasta.
  • Toss all ingredients to incorporate all the flavors.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
