Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Pasta

Last night was a pasta kind of night, so I went ahead and checked what I had in my refrigerator and pantry to make my kind of pasta. My husband always says that my sauce is very different and my mother in law enjoys it too because the tomato taste is very mild.
This  is my own recipe because I just start throwing seasonings, spices and veggies to make a delicious meal. So, I'm going to try my best to tell you how I did things and what I put in each item.

Bacon Wrap Pork Tenderloin with Pasta

Ingredients:
1 pound pork tenderloin
4-5 bacon strips
salt
pepper
1/2 lime
1/2 tsp garlic powder
a little cayenne pepper
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 orange pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cup traditional spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup water
salt to taste
spaghetti, elbows or your choice of pasta
olive oil

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with foil paper and spread a little olive oil on it.
Cut your pork in 4-5 strips, squeeze the lime on the meat (I like to do this in all types of meat I cook) season your meat and wrap each strip with bacon. Place your meat on the baking sheet and cook for 1 hour, then turn and cook it for another 25-30 minutes or until bacon is golden brown.
Follow the instructions on the package to cook the pasta and have it ready for when your meat and sauce are ready. You can also cook it last.
While your pork is cooking start chopping your veggies and gather all your ingredients for your sauce. In a pan pour some olive oil and after is hot put in the garlic and onions cook it for about 3-5 minutes, then throw in the peppers, sauce, Italian seasoning  and salt to taste. Let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes, taste and add more salt if needed. Use the water if you want to make your sauce less thick but if you like the strong tomato taste and a thick sauce don't use it. Give it your own twist if desired!!
When meat is done cut in round pieces, serve on top of pasta and sauce. It is delicious!!!! I think I did pretty good telling you all the ingredients and steps, What do you think?


This was delicious and different!! It had a good taste but it wasn't so strong, the garlic was on point and the tomato taste was mild.


 The peppers gave it a nice colorful look and taste. My husband and I enjoyed it very much. I sent some left overs with him to work and kept some for me, and they taste very good reheated too.

Hope you can try it and remember that you can add and take, make it your own by adding your own touch.
