This sauce is perfect with Polenta with Meat Sauce recipe or any kind of pasta. This is a plain sauce because only takes one kind of meat (bacon). However, it adds a lot of good flavor to your pasta dishes. It also makes for a great Sunday Sauce as it usually follows a meat entre (in Italy).  This sauce can be frozen to be used in recipes as needed.
