Description

Summer in pasta form!

Ingredients

  • 6 strips Bacon
  • 1 pound Gemelli (corkscrew Pasta)
  • 3 ears Corn
  • 1 jar (about 8 Oz. Size) Sun-dried Tomatoes, Packed In Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, Crushed And Minced
  • 3 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cups Fresh Mozzarella Diced
  • 10 leaves Fresh Basil

Preparation

Place bacon strips on a large skillet, place the skillet on the stovetop, and then turn the heat on medium-high. Cook the bacon until it starts to crisp up and then flip to cook the other side. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Break the bacon into bite-sized pieces once it cools slightly.

When the bacon is about half-cooked, start boiling water in a medium-large pot. Once the water comes to a boil, add your pasta and cook until it is just al dente (8-10 minutes for dry pasta).

While the bacon cooks and the water boils, cut the corn off the cob and prepare the sun-dried tomato sauce. Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes, then add the tomatoes and the oil from the jar to the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic and parmesan cheese and then process the ingredients until the tomatoes are finely chopped.

After the bacon has cooked, add the corn to the bacon grease (you can drain some of the oil) and cook for about 3-4 minutes, just enough to lightly cook the corn.

When the pasta has finished cooking, drain it, then add it to the skillet with the corn. Add the bacon and the sun-dried tomato sauce and stir well to coat the pasta with sauce. Finally, add some diced fresh mozzerella and fresh basil.

This was delicious! I made it as written except that I didn’t have corn on the cob so I used 2 cans of white and yellow sweet corn. Even my 11 year old son and his friend loved it.

This was good. I put the basil (and some spinach and pecans) in the food processor with the tomatoes. It worked out great and came together in a flash. Thanks!
