Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced small

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed

  • 4 ounces diced bacon

  • 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat oil and garlic over medium until fragrant. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft. Add bacon and red-pepper flakes; cook until bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil.
