Step 1
Prepare the pasta and set aside, reserving about a cup of pasta water.
Step 2
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove from pan and set aside. If you're vegetarian, simply skip this step and proceed to cooking the garlic!
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the pan, and cook the garlic over a medium-low heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the Tomato Bliss Heirloom tomatoes and the reserved pasta water, and cook until slightly reduced.
Step 5
Add the cooked pasta to the pan, and cook for a few moments to allow the sauce to stick to the pasta.
Step 6
Add the grated parmesan cheese and the pancetta, if you are using it, and then serve.
