Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

8 ounces of pasta
6 slices of bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon of dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed tomato mixture, and cooked bacon. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
