Bacony Egg Noodles with Green Beans
Simple and easy dish that is inexpensive as well.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can tomatoes, 565 gram can, diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 500 grams yard beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 300 grams egg noodles, OR use Fettucine
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until golden, about 8 minutes. Push the bacon to the side of the pan and add the onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
- Meanwhile, add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a colander; season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
- Return the water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until tender, about 9 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Toss the noodles with the sauce, adding the pasta water if needed to thin the sauce; season. Divide among 4 plates; serve with the green beans.
Notes
4 slices of bacon is minimal, about 20 Baht for a bundle of yard beans, and about 55 Baht for the can of tomatoes. Easily under $1.00 per meal per person.
