Pasta with bacon, capers and olives

This recipe on pasta with bacon, capers and olive I felt upon in the weekly magazine Søndag (issue 09/2016). I only made on tiny modification, as I used green olives instead of black olives, as I had a glass with green olives available in my kitchen.

Yes, it take a little more time to make your pasta sauce, but the taste is just so much great and it is actually cheaper to make your own pasta sauce compared to buy it in the super market.

Another great sauce for pasta is this tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes.
