Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon–1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
- 12–16 ounces tomato sauce
- 2–4 ounces freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
Method
- Boil spaghetti for 6 minutes or so, just until al dente. Drain when ready.
- As the water for the spaghetti is brought to a boil, start heating olive oil in a medium saucepan and sauté the bacon until the fat is just clear.
- Add the onion and sauté until soft.
- Add crushed red pepper and cook 2–3 minutes more.
- Add the tomato sauce and heat through.
- Remove from heat, add Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately over spaghetti. You may garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.
