Bacon and Squash Pasta Sauce
Author: Food Musings
Recipe type: Main
- 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
- Saute bacon in a heavy bottomed pan, I used a braising pan
- When cooked to desired crispness, remove to paper towel with a slotted spoon
- 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
- Saute onion and garlic until fragrant
- Add squash and stock, bringing the mixture to a boil
- Cover with a tight fitting lid and let simmer about a half an hour
- When the squash has started to disintegrate, puree with emulsion blender
- Add bacon and toss with your favourite pasta
- Top with Parmesan if desired
