My version of Lover's Style Pasta

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp butter
2-4 Tbsp olive oil
Chili powder
1/2 C. chopped black olives
3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1 can Italian stewed tomatoes
4 strips of bacon
Grated mozzarella cheese
*1 Tbsp capers
Spaghetti pasta

-Heat oven to 400, line small baking pan with foil and place bacon in pan, bake 15-18 minutes and remove from oven
-While oven is cooking heat butter and oil in medium saucepan, add garlic and chili powder and cook on medium heat until garlic begins to brown
-Add olives, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and continue to cook about 5 minutes
-Add stewed tomatoes and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer
-While sauce is simmering cook pasta and add bacon to sauce (crumble into pieces first)
-Once pasta is finished add to sauce, toss well and top with cheese and capers
-Serve and enjoy!

(good with bread & butter or crescent rolls)
*Capers can be found at the grocery store on the same isle with the olives, they're in a small jar and are little green things, they really don't have a strong flavor other than being a little salty and they are used for more decorative purposes
