Pasta with Canadian Bacon

I use the term Canadian bacon because that is what it's called in California, where my daughter's mom-in-law, Kathy, lives and where the recipe comes from. Where I live we call it back bacon. This is a tasty meal that can be whipped up in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients: (for 2)

2 cups pasta of choice
few Tbsp olive oil
200 grams (approx 1/2 lb) back bacon
(you can also use smoked ham)
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
Parmesan Cheese

Method:

1. Cook pasta in salted water, according to pkg directions. Do not overcook, drain, but do not rinse.
2. In large skillet, simmer bacon with 1 Tbsp olive oil, add chopped onions and cook until transparent, then add crushed garlic and tomatoes. Cook on low until pasta is done, stirring to blend flavors.
3. Add drained pasta.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.
5. Toss and serve.
