Author: 
Recipe type: Main
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of bacon, cut into chunks
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 liter of chicken or vegetable stock
  • squash, for amount see photo, cut into chunks
Instructions
  1. Saute bacon in a heavy bottomed pan, I used a braising pan
  2. When cooked to desired crispness, remove to paper towel with a slotted spoon
  3. Pour off whatever you would consider excess bacon fat, I used it all as my bacon was quite lean, leave at least 2 T in the pan
  4. Saute onion and garlic until fragrant
  5. Add squash and stock, bringing the mixture to a boil
  6. Cover with a tight fitting lid and let simmer about a half an hour
  7. When the squash has started to disintegrate, puree with emulsion blender
  8. Add bacon and toss with your favourite pasta
  9. Top with Parmesan if desired
