Creamy Bacon & Tomato Pasta

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.
