Ingredients
300g Diamond fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
250g Farmland streaky bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 400g tin chopped tomatoes in juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen peas
2 Tbsp sour cream
grated parmesan cheese plus extra for topping
Method
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the fettuccine according to the packet instructions.
While the fettuccine is cooking, heat the oil in a large fry pan and cook the bacon until crispy. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the paprika and cook for a few more seconds, then add the tinned tomatoes, season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
Once the sauce is at a simmer, add the frozen peas and cook for 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in the sour cream and cooked fettuccine and serve with some fresh parmesan grated over the top.
TIP: If the sauce seems too thick add a little pasta water to bring to the desired consistency.
