This bacon tomato pasta is the easiest and the most flavorful pasta you will ever try. It only takes 20 minutes to whip up, plus, it is done perfectly gluten-free and dairy-free.
Whenever we get cravings for pasta, this has been our go to recipe for the longest time. It is so quick and easy to put together in less than 20 minutes. A generous portion of bacon gives a wonderful amount of umami, making any additional seasoning unnecessary. Fresh rosemary is used for a bit of aroma, which can also be replaced with a dried type.
While you wait for the pasta to boil, you can get everything done for the sauce. Chop up the onion, garlic and bacon, cook in the pan with the tomato sauce, and you are all set to go.
When the pasta is boiled and drained, you simply toss in the sauce. That’s 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 is lacking in many gluten free pastas (not sponsored, this is my honest review!).
