Ingredients

1/4 c Parsley finely chopped

2 tb Oil from sun-dried tomatoes

1 tb olive oil

3 lb Tomatoes, fresh peeled, seeded And chopped

1/2 lb Pancetta or slab bacon, Diced

3 tb Sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil finely chopped

Salt if necessary


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine fresh tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes; set aside. 2. Pour oils into a 9- by 13-inch baking dish; place in the oven to heat the oil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add pancetta and return to the oven until pancetta starts to brown, tossing occasionally with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. 3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are cooked and form a sauce. 4. Remove from oven; stir in parsley. Season with salt, if necessary. 5. To serve: Cook 1 pound dried pasta, such as fusilli (spiral-shaped) in salted water, following package directions. Drain. Serve sauce over pasta and pass 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese at table. * Timesaver Tip: Sauce can be made up to 6 hours ahead, covered, and refrigerated, or it can be frozen. To freeze, spoon into a freezer container, cover, label, and freeze at 0 degrees F up to 2 months. To serve, defrost sauce 15 to 20 minutes in microwave oven on Defrost setting, stirring several times, or thaw in refrigerator 8 to 24 hours. Gently warm sauce in a saucepan or microwave oven on 50% power until warmed through, about 3 minutes, whisking frequently and vigorously to bring it to a creamy consistency.

Mine came out more chunky than saucy and a bit greasy. It tasted good but it needed something to loosen up the tomatoes.
