PENNE ALL'ARRABBIATA




PENNE ALL'ARRABBIATA

Vicki Troyer Bernardi

for 4 people

14 oz. penne
7 oz. cleaned and cut-up mushrooms
1 package of diced bacon 
parsley (optional)
red pepper
1 28 oz. can tomatoes  -- run them through blender or mash with fork

Heat olive oil in pan and add garlic powder.
Cook bacon in pan until partially crisp. Remove from oil.
Sauté mushrooms in oil. Return bacon to skillet.
Add red pepper and tomatoes, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 broth cube. Cook over low heat about 30 minutes, or until mixture becomes dense.
In a deep pan bring salted water to boiling.  Put pasta in and cook al dente, tender but firm to the bite.  Drain.
Put pasta in serving bowl  and cover with sauce.  
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. 

Note: Sometimes we prepare this dish without mushrooms.
 In Italy you can buy diced bacon in small packages. We use about 3 oz. for 2 or at the most 3 people.
