Cooking Steps
- Before starting, prepheat oven to 450°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef.
- Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Season with salt, pepper and Zesty Garlic Blend.
- While beef cooks, add penne to the boiling water.
- Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Meanwhile, arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast bacon in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
- To the pan with beef, add broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Drain, then finely chop olives.
- To a small bowl, add tomatoes, olives and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. (TIP: We love using extra virgin olive oil in this tapenade!)
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- When penne is tender, reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
- Strain penne, then return to the same pot, off heat.
- Add sauce, reserved pasta water and half the Parmesan to the pot.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
