    Roasted tomato bacon pasta comes together in a snap, and only uses a handful of ingredients. The only thing you really need to do is turn on the oven to roast the tomatoes and bacon, and then boil water to cook the pasta. It really is that simple! Anyone can do it!

    Linguine with Bacon and Basil

    What type of pasta is best with this recipe?

    This dish can be made with any type of pasta that is your favorite. I happen to enjoy linguine, and had it in my pantry, so that's what I used. Feel free to swap out whatever you have, and whatever is convenient.

    How long does this dish take to make?

    This roasted tomato bacon pasta takes approximately 30 minutes, from start to dinner, which makes it a stress-free recipe that will please the entire family any night of the week.

    Linguine with Bacon and Tomatoes

    How to make Roasted Tomato Bacon Linguine:

    • Place two pounds of grape or cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan (aluminum foil optional) and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
    • Place 12 ounces of bacon on another sheet pan lined with a baking rack and roast them both in a 450-degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
    • Cool and crumble the bacon.

    • Meanwhile, cook the pasta (I chose linguine) according to the package directions.
    • Drain the pasta, making sure to reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.

    • Add the roasted tomatoes (with their juice) and bacon into the pot, and toss with the drained pasta.
    • Add as much of the reserved 1 cup of cooking water as desired to make a light sauce.
