Pasta con Sugo Rosa

1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
4 T. olive oil
6 slices of bacon (or pancetta, if you can find it)
1-2 chicken breasts
26 oz. can Hunt's Four Cheese spaghetti sauce
2 C. heavy whipping cream
2 t. basil
dash of oregano, parsley, and salt & pepper
16-20 oz. penne (or any pasta)
parmesan cheese

In a skillet, saute the garlic and onion in olive oil. Cut raw chicken and bacon in cubes and add to the onions and garlic. Cook on medium until fully cooked. Pour the tomato sauce and cream over meat and onions. Mix well. Season with basil, parsley, oregano, and salt & pepper. Simmer the sauce on low for at least 15 minutes. Cook and strain pasta. Top with sauce and parmesan cheese.

This sauce gets tastier the longer it cooks (that's what the Italians say is the key to a good sauce!) You could put it in a crock pot and let it simmer all day.

Buon appetito!
