    gluten-free dairy-free bacon tomato pasta

    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!).

    Ingredients for bacon tomato pasta

    • Gluten-free short pasta - I like ZENB Rotini pasta
    • Olive oil
    • Garlic
    • Onion
    • Bacon
    • Canned tomato sauce
    • Fresh rosemary - dried type works as well
    • Salt and pepper

    Optional toppings:

    • Fresh rosemary
    • Dairy-free sour cream or cashew yogurt
    • Olive oil - to drizzle

    How to make bacon tomato pasta

    1. Boil the pasta according to the package.

    2. In a separate pan, heat up the olive oil. Cook the garlic and onion until tender.

    3. Add in the bacon and cook fully.

    4. Add the tomato sauce and rosemary. Simmer over low heat for 3 minutes.

    5. Take the rosemary out of the sauce. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and toss. Adjust the flavor with salt and pepper.

    6. Garnish with rosemary, dairy free sour cream or cashew yogurt, and drizzle some olive oil (optional)!
