TUNA & BACON PASTA FINA

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a pan. When bacon is done, drain on papertowels.
• Keep the bacon grease in the pan. (Note: You can reduce the amount of bacon grease you use if you so choose, just keep enough so it doesn't get dry).
• Put the tuna and garlic in the pan with the bacon grease and heat over medium heat - stirring occasionally. Do this for approximately 5 minutes.
• Season with black pepper (optional).
• Crumble the bacon strips and place back in the pan with the tuna & garlic.
• Heat for another minute or two.
• Boil your angel hair pasta.
• When pasta is done put into a large bowl.
• Transfer your bacon & tuna mixture from the pan into the bowl of pasta.
• Toss all ingredients to incorporate all the flavors.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
