Fast and easy fajita pasta!

This is a pasta that basically ends up tasting like a fajita, but without the hands-on process.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb jalapeno bacon
• 1/2 sweet onion
• 1/2 orange bell pepper
• 1/2 green bell pepper
• 4 tsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2 inch ginger paste
• 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
• dash or two of smoked paprika
• 1 tsp basil (fresh or dried is fine)
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 package pasta
• 2 cups water or stock of choice

Directions:

1. Slice peppers and onions into strips. Cut bacon into small pieces.
2. Cook bacon to desired level of crispiness. Remove bacon from the pan onto a plate to drain. (Leave the drippings.)
3. Add onion and pepper strips. Add garlic, ginger paste, chili powder, basil, and oregano. Pan fry until the onion and peppers are flexible but not limp. Remove from the pan and place over the sprigs of rosemary and thyme (this will start adding the flavor).
4. Add water or stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook recommended time. There should be only a little of the cooking liquid left.
5. Add bacon, cooked veggies, and the sprigs of rosemary and thyme. 
6. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. Discard the rosemary and thyme.
7. Enjoy!
