BLT Pasta

I love Racheal Ray, I always find some good recipes from her. This is my version of a recipe she made on her talk show one day. It is also one of my husbands favorite meals!

Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti or angel hair pasta
6 slices pancetta, sliced about 1/2"-3/4" thick. Then dice.
1 small red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, or 2 tsp garlic paste
3 small packages grape or cherry tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can crushed or diced tomatoes
1 can sliced black olives
1 cup dry white wine ( I usually use either leftover chardonnay, or buy a cheaper brand of it)
handful or 2 of grated parmesan cheese
1 bunch fresh basil
arrugala

In large heated skillet, brown up pancetta. No need to add oil, there is plenty of fat on the pancetta. Once it starts to brown, add red onion. Once the onion has softened, add the black olives and garlic or garlic paste and stir. Add the grape or cherry tomatoes, and cover. Let simmer until tomatoes start to burst. Once they burst, add white wine and stir. Add canned tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Add fresh chopped basil. Simmer covered while spaghetti or angel hair is cooking. Drain pasta, and mix with tomato mixture. Dress plate with a bed of arrugala, add pasta, add a little more arrugala and serve.
