EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The texture of the pasta will be a bit firmer, because it is cooked in the liquid and isn't drained.

Depending on the kind of bacon you use, you may have to drain the fat.

I would have liked the noodles to be a bit more tender. This was my first experience with bow tie pasta.

I forgot to say remove the bacon while cooking the other ingredients and crumble and sprinkle it on the top when ready to serve.

Here's a different way: Cook and drain the bacon all but 1 Tbsp.of the bacon grease. Cook the onion in the bacon grease. Add fresh or 1 one lb can diced tomatoes undrained,and one chicken bouillon cube. Optional: chop up a zucchini, about 1/2 inch dice, especially if you can find a Mexican zucchini, or two, or maybe add some peas or not. Cook and drain your pasta separately, and add to the mixture, sprinkle with a few hot pepper flakes if you wish. Add some parmesean cheese on top. See how you like it. Fast and yummy! You can use any kind of pasta you like, spaghetti is good, too!

This was very good, although I would have liked my pasta to be just a tad more tender. I think next time I will try vegetable broth. I will make this often.

My mother made this for us and called it the Depression dish. She said they ate alot of this during the depression. I make it for my family and they love it. We don't use the chix broth.
