To give basic tomato sauce an extra kick, turn to bacon and red-pepper flakes. Just a little of each gives the sauce a lightly spicy, smoky flavor. Store the leftover pasta in a resealable container in the refrigerator; use it to make a Pasta and Cheese Frittata.

4 slices bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 28 ounce whole peeled tomatoes

Very good flavor. Used extra bacon. I would have liked the sauce thicker. Next time I will not add reserved pasta water
