1 large can petite diced tomatoes, with juice
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp dried crushed red pepper or 1/2 tsp sweet red pepper spice
4 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions:
Cook pasta according to directions and set aside.

Sauté bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pan.
