1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 garlic cloves, minced

9 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Fresh basil leaves, optional
Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the onions, pepper flakes and salt; saute until onions are tender. Stir in garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes or until onions are deep golden brown.
Add the tomatoes, vinegar and 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; toss with onion mixture.
Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with bacon, cheese, and pepper; heat through. Garnish with basil if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
Justin made this dish tonight while I was at an appointment. It was tasty, but he said it was a lot of work for what we got in the end. Lots of mincing and cooking he said. He halved the recipe for the two of us and it made enough leftovers for his lunch tomorrow.
