Bacon, Onion, Garlic & Tomato Sauce - bacon

Method

• Cut bacon slices into 4 pieces and cook over medium heat in a large sauce pan. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
• Cook bacon until a golden brown, but NOT crispy. You do not want any burnt edges.
• Remove bacon and place on paper towels to absorb fat.
• Add roughly diced onions and cook on medium heat until translucent.
• Add your garlic and continue cooking until onions appear to start turning golden brown.
• Strain mixture with a sieve over a bowl, as you want to reverse the bacon fat.
• Put mixture back into pan and add a half of the diced tomatoes.
• Cook, toss and turn for about 5 minutes.
• Return bacon and bacon fat back into mixture and heat through.
• Pour over your favourite pasta and sprinkle with cheese and fresh basil leaves.
