This recipe makes enough for about four to six servings but if you want plenty more, you can always double the ingredients. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and then about ten to fifteen minutes to bake. It will look so good, you won't want to wait to try it!
Let's Get Started!
The Ingredients To Gather Are:
1 pound organic whole wheat elbow pasta
½ pound bacon, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 jar Pomodoro Fresco Spicy Arrabbiata pasta sauce
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
8 ounces provolone cheese
fresh basil and oregano leaves for topping
The Step By Step Directions To Follow:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta and cook according to the directions.
While the pasta is cooking, heat an oven-safe skillet or pot over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and cook until it's completely crispy and the fat is rendered. Once crispy, remove almost all of the bacon grease from the skillet with a spoon (just set it aside in a bowl to save or firm up to throw away) and stir in the cooked pasta and white beans. Add the jar of spicy arrabbiata, stir. Stir in parmesan cheese and a few fresh basil leaves. Top with the provolone cheese.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Add extra parmesan and fresh herbs on top.
Enjoy!
