Pasta with Red Onion, “Bakin,” Radicchio, and Edamame

Ingredients

• 8 ounces penne (or your pasta of choice)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, chopped fine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 cups radicchio leaves, sliced thin
• 1/2 package vegetarian bacon of choice
• 2 cups edamame beans, frozen and parboiled
• Small handful torn basil leaves

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large shallow pan heat oil. Chop the vegetarian bacon and fry the pieces until browned and crispy. Remove the “bacon” from pan and set aside.
2. Add pasta to the boiling water.
3. Add a small amount of oil to the pan you cooked your “bacon” in and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the parboiled edamame and red pepper flakes and sauté for a minute or two.
4. When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain and, without rinsing, add the hot pasta directly into the onion mixture, turning everything over to heat it all through. Add in the cripsy bacon pieces, the radicchio, basil, salt, and lots of pepper, tossing to combine well. The radicchio will wilt slightly when it comes into contact with the hot pasta mixture. Plate and top with a sprinkle of picada if desired.
