Canadian Bacon Bow Ties

Canadian Bacon Bow Ties


1. Prepare pasta according to instructions on box.

2. Spread olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium for about 1 minute.

3. Chop canadian bacon in bite-sized pieces. Add canadian bacon, red onion, fresh green onions (with green part attached) and bell pepper in skillet and cook over medium heat 8-10 minutes until peppers start to soften.

4. Stir in basil, rosemary, cilantro, black pepper, red pepper flakes, capers and peas. Stir until well blended.

5. During last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in tomatoes.

6. Pour cheeses over top, cover, turn off heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

7. Pour cooked pasta into large bowl and pour canadian bacon mixture over pasta.

8. I sprinkle additional parmesan cheese and fresh basil over top before serving. This was a huge hit. I served it with a really nice salad, homemade balsamic vinagrette, fresh garlic rolls, red wine and served chocolate espresso pudding in phyllo cups for dessert.
