Angry Pasta

*This recipe came from an Italian couple in our ward a couple years ago. The first recipe is the original, the second recipe is what I did this week.

Angry Pasta (because it is spicy)

8 oz bacon, cut to bite-sized pieces (I did this before I cooked it)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb fresh red tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces

red pepper flakes to taste

1 lb penne pasta

Cook bacon, drain most of the grease. Add garlic, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes (not too much at the beginning). Cook down tomatoes. Taste. Add more red pepper flakes if needed. Serve over cooked penne pasta.
