This is a wonderful classic Italian dish that is so simple! This is adapted from a recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks - "Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen".

    I didn't care for the taste of this recipe. It was so rich tasting that I couldn't see sitting down to a plate of this as an entree. Maybe the flavor of the extra virgin olive oil was too strong for me. Perhaps it would work as a side dish.

    Loved it! this one passed the Pasta Master's test.. he didn't mutter that it needed more or less of anything and was most happy to eat it. This was quick and easy to make and is great for weekday meals in a rush. Please see my rating system: a tasty 4 stars. Thanks!

    This is one of my favorite recipes from that cookbook of Lidia's and I love it. It is so simple, but a true classic you will keep as a standby. I love onions, so I use two, and I also love bacon, so I use more like 12 ounces and reduce the amount of oil to 1 tablespoon to compensated for the extra fat in the pan. I season with about 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt at the end when you add the pepper. I personally think the recipe is even better the next day after it has been in a fridge!
