Quick and Easy Pesto Pasta

I love making things that take no time at all and out of ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge.  This is one of those recipes.  I felt like cooking lunch today, but didn't want to worry about making something that took a million different ingredients.  I also didn't want to have to clean up the entire kitchen afterwards.  So, I found a few things in the fridge and came up with this super simple pasta dish.  All you really need is pre-made pesto sauce, and then you can add whatever else you like to add more flavor.  I obviously added bacon, and also decided to add some sliced cherry heirloom tomatoes. 

INGREDIENTS:
1 Box of your favorite pasta - I used bow tie!
1 Jar of Pesto - you can often find this near the pizza or pasta sauces
3 Slices Bacon- diced
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan 
1 Package Heirloom Tomatoes - sliced into fours

1.  Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box.  Don't forget to salt the water once boiling before adding the pasta.  This is the only time you will be able to season the pasta itself.

2.  While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon until crispy.  Remove from the heat and drain the oil. Once the pasta is finished, strain and add back into the pot.  Add in enough pesto to coat all of the noodles.  Add in the bacon and the tomatoes as well as the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and then Serve and enjoy!
