This bacon tomato pasta is the easiest and the most flavorful pasta you will ever try. It only takes 20 minutes to whip up while being perfectly gluten-free and dairy-free.
Bacon tomato pasta has been my go-to dish for the longest time. It is super quick and easy to put together, yet packed full of flavors, and absolutely tasty. The bacon brings out the wonderful umami rich flavor, allowing to keep other seasonings to minimum. For an aromatic boost, fresh rosemary is used to infuse the sauce, which can also be substituted with a dried type.
While you wait for the pasta to boil, you can get everything done for the sauce. All it takes is to chop up the onion, garlic and bacon, cook in the pan with the tomato sauce.
When the pasta is boiled and drained, simply toss in the sauce. That is it. Can it be any easier than this?

My favorite gluten-free pasta
After trying a wide range of gluten-free pasta brands, my absolute favorite has been ZENB pasta. They are made from 100% yellow peas which means extra plant based protein in your meal! Their short pasta 'Rotini' especially has that bouncy texture that often lacks in gluten-free pastas (not sponsored, this is my honest review!).
