3-12…Penne with mushrooms in a simple but rustic tomato sauce.

Tonight was one of those meals when you use what  is available in the fridge and pantry.

INGREDIENTS:

Penne pasta

Olive oil

Garlic and onion

Anchovy fillets

White mushrooms

Bacon

Petite diced tomatoes

Sweet Vermouth

Dried basil and oregano

PROCESS:

Co0k the chopped bacon, remove, and set aside to drain.  Pour off the bacon fat, then cook the garlic, onion, and the finely chopped anchovy fillets in olive oil before adding the mushrooms.  Then add the tomatoes, herbs, and a splash of wine and cook over low heat.

When the pasta is ready, add it to the sauce, along with the bacon, mix well, and serve.

COMMENTS:

I don’t think I can be very objective about this (I haven’t had any pasta all day!), but I’ll try.  It was scrumptious, and it tasted good!  I have no reservations recommending it, or your own variation of it.
