Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana is a comforting, old-world Italian dish featuring a rich tomato and cream sauce made with Tuttorosso Tomato Sauce. Smoky bacon adds depth and flavor, while Parmesan and fresh parsley bring…

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1/2 pound bacon, coarsely cooked chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley
  • 12 ounces pappardelle pasta

Instructions

Step one

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chopped onion and sauté 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent.  

Step two

Add coarsely chopped bacon and chopped garlic to the skillet. Sauté another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and garlic is fragrant. 

Step three

Add salt and Tuttorosso Tomato Sauce. Let the mixture simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step four

While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pappardelle according to the package instructions until just shy of al dente.

Step five

After the sauce has simmered for 30 minutes, remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream and grated parmesan until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. 

Step six

Using tongs, transfer the cooked pappardelle directly from the pot to the skillet with the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce, adding a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water as needed to achieve a glossy creamy consistency.

Step seven

Serve topped with fresh parsley and extra parmesan.  Enjoy immediately!
