YUMMY!



This is from a pasta recipe book that my brother Wade gave to my sister Brooke for Christmas years ago. Their plan was to make one of the recipes from the book each week. This happened to be the first one... and they loved it so much they never moved on :) Its called Bacon Linguine but is quickly becoming known as "Bolli Pasta."

Its super easy and pretty amazing!

Ingredients:
1 lb package linguine
I lb bacon (the recipe book calls for 6 slices but we add more)
4 TB olive oil
1 onioncut into quarters and sliced into slivered pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 c chopped black olives (we often use more)
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan cheese


Directions:
Cook linguine noodles al dente,according to manufacturer's directions (about 9 minutes).

While noodles cook prepare the following:

Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. In skillet cook bacon until not quite crispy. Drain off most of grease.
Add olive oil, heat over medium heat.
Add onion. Cook until edges turn golden.
Add garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add olives and cook until warmed through.

Add bacon mixture to drained linguine noodles. Mix, adding salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
