- 3.5 oz smoked bacon
- 1 shot glass vodka (about 1 oz)

Preparation of Quick and Tasty Pasta
In a large pan, heat a few tablespoons of oil and sauté the peeled garlic clove, halved and with the core removed.
Then add diced smoked bacon and brown it for a couple of minutes, stirring often.
Pour in the vodka and let it evaporate.
Once the vodka has evaporated, add chopped cherry tomatoes, a generous pinch of salt, and a good grind of black pepper.
Stir well and let it simmer for a couple of minutes over medium-low heat. Then remove the garlic. If desired, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste, which I always do.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water, drain it al dente, and transfer it directly to the pan with the sauce. Mix to combine perfectly and garnish with finely chopped parsley.
Serve the quick and tasty pasta on individual plates and serve immediately, very hot. Enjoy! Paola
