Penne Pasta With Apples and Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 8 pieces thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
    1 pound penne pasta
    2 Golden Delicious apples
    1 yellow onion
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
    Sprinkle nutmeg

Directions

  1. Lay the bacon on a large parchment-lined baking tray. Place the tray in the oven while it's off, then turn it on to 400°F (again, do not preheat the oven). Set the timer for 22 minutes.
  2. Get salted water boiling on the stove, and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
  3. Wash and cube the apples, and peel and dice the onion.
  4. When the bacon is ready, place the strips on a plate without draining. Carefully transfer all the bacon grease from the parchment paper to a deep sauté pan. Add the diced onion, and cook on medium heat for five minutes. Then add the apples and cook on medium-low for another 15 minutes.
  5. Using scissors, cut the bacon into small strips.
  6. Add the bacon pieces, pasta, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg to the sautéed apples and onions. Toss well and serve.
