CREAMY BACON PASTA

Ingredients​

  • â–¢300 g (11 oz) Dried pasta, I use spaghetti
  • â–¢1 Onion, Peeled and finely chopped
  • â–¢2 Garlic cloves, Or puree
  • â–¢240 g (8.5 oz) Streaky smoked bacon, Chopped into 1cm strips
  • â–¢170 g (6 oz) Sundried tomatoes , The type in oil, drained and chopped into thin strips
  • â–¢4 tbsp Tomato puree
  • â–¢200 g (7 oz) Peas, Frozen is fine
  • â–¢200 g (7 oz) Cream cheese
  • â–¢Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions​

  • Cook your pasta according to the instructions on the pack, in a pan of well salted water.
  • Put your onions, garlic, tomatoes and bacon into a pan and fry over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes until the onions are softened and the bacon is cooked through (you shouldn’t need any oil as the bacon will release some).
  • Five minutes before your pasta has finished cooking, add the peas to the pasta pan and continue cooking as normal.
  • When the bacon and onions are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the tomato puree and cream cheese. Give everything a good stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until just heated through.
  • When the pasta and peas are cooked, drain (reserve a cup of the cooking water) and add the pasta and peas into the pan with the bacon and vegetables. Add black pepper and a splash of reserved cooking water if you'd like a more runny sauce.
  • Give everything a good stir and serve immediately. (This shouldn't need any more salt as the bacon is salted, but taste it to be sure.)
