2) Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; pouring off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from skillet.
3) Add onion, garlic and only 1 Tbsp Tomato Bacon Basil Seasoning to skillet; stir occasionally until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

5) Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 Cup of the cooking water, then drain pasta.
6) Add pasta, cheese, and basil (if using) to sauce and toss until coated evenly. Add enough of the reserved cooking water to thin sauce as desired. Plate and garnish as desired.
