Ingredients
250g Diamond spaghetti
125g Farmland streaky bacon, chopped
½ onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
Salt & pepper
Superb Herb Italian parsley to serve
Parmesan cheese to serve
Method
- Cook spaghetti according to the packet instructions, but less 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry bacon for 1 minute. Add onion and garlic. Continue to fry for 2 minutes or until the onion is translucent and bacon is golden.
- Pour in about ½ cup of pasta water into the skillet, bring to a simmer and stir, scraping the skillet to dissolve in all the golden bits stuck on the pan into the liquid.
- Add the tomato and cook for 3 minutes, then turn the heat down to low.
- Drain pasta, or if you timed it right use tongs to transfer it straight from the pasta pot into the skillet.
- Toss gently for 2 minutes, or until all the sauce is on the pasta, not sitting bottom of the skillet.
- Season with pepper and a little salt if needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and parsley.
