I grew up in a house where both parents cooked quite a bit. Dad usually manned the grill and made thanksgiving dinner (yes, we grilled our turkey), while mom was more into baking and stove-top foods. While things switched around from time to time, this was generally it. So you can imagine quite a bit of experimenting with food went on in our house.

During this experimenting, my mom came up with what is literally the best pasta dish in the world, and yes I have been to Italy before being GF. The dish got so lovingly named by my elementary-school-aged sister and I “The pasta with all the stuff in it”. Our family was not nearly as creative with words as we were in the kitchen.

It’s this pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with veggies and bacon. Food doesn’t get much better. Also having Celiac disease will not stop me from enjoying this dish, because I have gluten free pasta! HA!

I forgot to take a picture of it to show you guys, because I was recovering from a marathon when I made it and ate it all. Though I did get really excited and take a picture of the bacon:

No worries, because I’ll likely make the dish again soon and can update you with a picture when I do.

Ingredients

3-4 Pieces of GF bacon (I use Hormel)

2-3 servings of GF noodles (my favorite is quinoa, but the corn/rice mixture ones are cheaper and both hold together well)

1 clove of garlic

1 medium-sized onion

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

4 medium sized tomatoes

1/2 cup of shredded asiago cheese

extra virgin olive oil

pepper
