ingredients

8 ounces whole wheat linguine
1 pint cherry tomatoes (grape works too)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, sliced
4 ounces manchego cheese
salt and pepper

directions

Heat oven to 400.
On a baking sheet toss the tomatoes with the balsamic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast at 400 for 30 minutes, stirring every 7-10 minutes.
Let cool slightly, then pulse all of the ingredients (you may have to scrape some of the bits off the sheet pan – do it, it’s worth it) in a food processor until it’s the consistency you want.
Meanwhile crisp up the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat.
Reserve 1 Tbsp of the drippings, turn the heat down to medium-low, and saute the onions until they are caramelized and tender.
Cook the pasta until it’s al dente according to package directions.
Now it’s time to assemble: in a large bowl toss the pasta with the tomato sauce. Add the onions, crumbled bacon, and chunks of the Manchego cheese. Toss it all together and serve hot (or cold) as a main course or a side.
