Borsetti with Bacon Cream Sauce,
garnished with a Christopher home grown tomato
One of this week's grocery bargains was a 20oz. package of fresh borsetti filled with chicken and bacon (like ravioli, but shaped like little drawstring bags) for $3,49. Minus the dollar off coupon I had, this was too good to pass up (I couldn't make it myself for this cheap :). I did not want a tomato based sauce for this delicate pasta, and the small amount of bacon I had left in the fridge (that needed to be used, seems to have become a recurring theme here of late) made me think carbonara. Something about the eggs, however, did not seem right, so I just made a creamy sauce without the eggs. I diced up one of Christopher's beautiful home grown tomatoes and sprinkled this over the top of the prepared dishes...perfect!
Pasta with Bacon Cream Sauce
1 pkg. pasta of choice, fresh or dry
4 slices bacon, cut into thin ribbons
1 small onion, diced (I used a vidalia)
2 tbs. butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk (I used 2%)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
