Ingredients
-
1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta
-
1 pound bacon, coarsely chopped
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
-
While the pasta is cooking, cook bacon and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until bacon is crisp and onion is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain grease into a small container.
-
Drain pasta and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add oil and stir to coat pasta. Add cooked bacon and onion plus 1 to 2 tablespoons bacon grease. Sprinkle Parmesan over pasta and stir until well combined. Add more bacon grease as desired for flavor and moisture.
