Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Place pasta in a colander and give it a quick rinse with hot water. Toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve at once with sauce and Parmesan cheese on the side. During that time, fry bacon in a large skillet until it begins to curl and give off some fat. Do not brown. Add butter; when melted, sauté onion and garlic, stirring constantly, until they are tender, about a minute. Do not let the garlic burn. Add shrimp, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, wine, parsley, and basil into the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 12 minutes. Add shrimp, and continue cooking until the shrimp are heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve at once with pasta and Parmesan cheese on the side. Note. Candice prepared this for our Anniversary Dinner on August 6, 2008. Because we had pre-cooked shrimp in the freezer, she used those, simply adding them to the tomato mixture after it had been reduced.
