Bonnie's Bacon, Leek and Tomato Spaghetti

1. 1

   Cook bacon and keep grease along with adding 3 tbsp additional bacon grease.

2. 2

   Add garlic, parsley and basil - saute a little and then add leeks and saute them down.

3. 3

   Add tomatoes (chop them in the pan to make them bite size) and V-8 juice and let it cook down while for the flavors to meld like a soup (approx 20 min.)

4. 4

   Then throw the uncooked spaghetti in to thicken it into a saucy sexy gut buster.

5. 5

   I put grated jack cheese on top and let it melt before serving.

6. 6

   Note: To clean leeks - cut off tops and some of the bottoms like you do with green onions.

7. 7

   Slice them into fourths lengthwise.

8. 8

   Run a sink of cold water and swish them around to get dirt out.

9. 9

   Do this a couple of times, drain in colander and pat dry with paper towel.

10. 10

    Then they are ready to chop.
