What You Need

slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped

1/2

lb. multi-grain angel hair pasta, uncooked

onion, chopped

cans (14.5 oz. each) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4

tsp. crushed red pepper

1/2

cup chopped fresh basil

cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/4

cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

Make It

COOK bacon in large skillet until crisp. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package.

REMOVE bacon from skillet; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings from skillet. Add onions to skillet; cook 5 to 6 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Add tomatoes, reserved liquid and crushed red pepper to onions; simmer 3 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

DRAIN pasta; return to pan. Add tomato mixture, bacon and basil; toss to coat. Add mozzarella; mix lightly. Serve topped with Parmesan.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using thin spaghetti.

Preparing Perfect Pasta

Follow the package directions to ensure that enough water is used for cooking the pasta. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente (tender but still a little firm to the bite), stirring frequently. To prevent pasta from sticking, add it slowly to plenty of boiling water and stir frequently while cooking. Adding oil to the cooking water is not recommended because some sauces may not cling to pasta coated with oil.

This recipe is delicious. As is typical of many of us I made a couple changes. I used one can Rotel Tomato and Green Chilis draining that one. Then I used a can of plain diced tomatoes undrained. I added a large clove of garlic when I was doing the onions. Nice tang to the dish and absolutely delicious!!!

I prepared this recipe for my family and guests; everyone loved it! I used one can of diced tomatoes and chopped several tomatoes from my own garden to use instead of the second can. Great flavor!
