"This recipe came from a 100% Swiss girl--they really do love Swiss cheese over there, and put it in all kinds of dishes."

1 lb bacon, cut in 1" pieces
1 chopped onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water
1 1/2 to 2 T chicken soup base
1 1/2 to 2 T beef soup base
2 T sugar

Using a large heavy skillet, brown bacon pieces.  When bacon is almost cooked, drain most of the grease off bacon, leaving 1-2 T with the bacon.  Add the onion and garlic and saute until tender (don't brown bacon).  Add tomato paste and hot water to bacon.  Add seasoning and simmer 5-10 minutes on low.  (Sauce should be slightly salty.)  Add 6 oz. grated Swiss cheese, then 8-10 oz. cooked spaghetti.  (Cook spaghetti while making sauce.)  Stir to cat, and add another 6 oz. grated Swiss cheese.  Stir again over very low heat until cheese is melted.  Do not overheat.
