BLT Fusilli - not what you think ;)

Frederick, MD(Zone 6a)

DS and DDIL gave me the recipe. It's really good !

The "L" in this case stands for lime....

1 lb. fusilli
1/4 c. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 - 14 oz. cans Italian tomatoes - drained then chopped
1 T. light brown sugar - tightly packed
1/4 c. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 T. fresh oregano leaves or 2 tsp
2 t. salt
fresh ground black pepper
2/3 c. grated parmesan
12 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled

Cook fusilli til tender; drain well and return to pot.

While the fusilli is cooking, heat the oil in saute pan over high heat. Add the garlic, tomatoes and brown sugar, and just bring to boil. Turn down quickly and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add tomato mixture to the fusilli and toss well. Add the lime juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese and toss again. Top with crumbled bacon and serve immediately.
