How To Make grandpa guy's pasta
-
Step 1Cook pasta el dente, I use shells but any type is fine. Drain and set aside
-
Step 2Cook bacon in large enough pan to add all ingredients including pasta. (I didn't make it clear and one of my nieces used 4 pans)Remove Bacon nd set aside to chop later. Use olive oil if you want to omit bacon
