Preparation of Pasta with Bacon and Cherry Tomatoes
Heat a small skillet very well, then add the diced bacon and brown it well without any seasoning until it is golden and crispy.
Then collect it with a slotted spatula and transfer it onto a plate lined with paper towels. Pat it to remove excess grease.
In a pan, heat a few tablespoons of oil and sauté a peeled and whole clove of garlic. Let it sizzle for a few moments, then add the cherry tomatoes and sauté them for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the robiola cheese in a small bowl with the milk, a generous pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper, and mix until you get a smooth cream.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water, drain it al dente, and transfer it to the pan with the cherry tomatoes. Remove the garlic.
Add the robiola cream and mix to combine all the ingredients. Finally, add the crispy bacon. And here I forgot to take pictures.
Distribute the pasta with bacon and cherry tomatoes on individual plates and, before serving, sprinkle it with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with basil torn by hand. Enjoy! Paola
