"bacon is good for me"


  1. 1 pound campanelle pasta
  2. 4 medium red onions, thinly sliced
  3. 4 ounces soft goat cheese
  4. 4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise, 1-inch thick
  5. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
  6. 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  7. Cook 1 pound campanelle. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta water; return pasta to pot.
  8. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet over medium, turning, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; remove to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  9. Add onions, garlic, and thyme to fat in skillet; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Uncover; cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  10. Crumble goat cheese over pasta; add onion mixture and 1 cup reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Toss, adding more pasta water as desired. Serve immediately, sprinkled with bacon and more thyme.
