1 bacon
1 tbsp canola oil -- butter
1 flavored
1 tbsp virgin olive oil
6 tbsp basil leaves -- shredded

Instructions:

PASTA POT - cook pasta until al dente. Drain well. Toss with butter
flavored canola. LARGE SKILLET or WOK ~ Fry prosciutto or bacon until
crisp; add a little olive oil, as needed, to prevent sticking.

in a serving bowl and toss. Add hot "buttered" pasta and toss.
Distribute servings to heated bowls. Top with cheese.

Option No2: Push meat aside in the wok or skillet and stir fry
radicchio and herbs for about 3 minutes, until just wilted and the
"cranberry" color darkens ("maroon"). Add the pasta to the wok. Toss.
Salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a heated serving bowl. Top with
cheese: some shavings, some grated.

beet and spinach. __Equal amounts of linguine and angel hair. Note
the different cooking times on package. __Shorten the pasta: break
length in two. __Equal amounts of fresh basil, or lemon basil and
fresh tarragon. __Good quality turkey bacon instead of prosciutto.
