• Spagetti Pesto with Roasted Garlic & Savory bacon

Phrasty · Nov 17, 2011

So tonight felt like the show "Chopped" :heh: The wife's on her way home from the in-laws with our baby boy and my Hunny's hungry so I offer up dinner. I have 30 minutes... GO! lol :heh: In my basket I have Roasted garlic and Savory bacon, made both recently & I've been dying to try them out.

So I put some water on to boil for the pasta & diced a couple slices of the bacon up...

Grabbed some Sweet basil, parsley, oregano and a scotchie from the garden threw them in the food processor and added parmesan, the roasted garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, a touch of smoked sweet paprika a healthy glugg of EVOO and buzzed it:

Fry up the bacon:

Added the pesto and the pasta to the mix...

Hmmm need something to go on top... I've used parmesan already... hmmm AHA!

DING DING DING... Wifey's happy, I WEEEEN! :boxing::clap2::crazy:
Was actually pretty darn good I must say! Lol :thumb:

Well thanks for looking.
Cheers!

Awsome dish of pasta right there. Great pics as usual, and the chashews had to put it over the top.

Pesto is one of my favorite things.

Never considered bacon, but then again, everything is better with the pig, right?

Love the roasted garlic option.

I usually use pistacio's (traditional recipe calls for pignoli's) in the pesto itself.

Very nice dish you made there.

Let 's get this straight.

You had 30 minutes... and took pics?????

Thanks for the kind words... :becky:

What a nice touch with the cashews on top. Awesome idea that I will steal for sure. Did you use pine nuts in the pesto, or the cashews or sans both?
