Week Three: Quick and easy pasta

Sorry for the lateness! Approx. £1.75 per person

Serves 2

Ingredients:                    

1 carton of creamed tomatoes  (You can also put in any leftover tomato sauce that you've made on a previous day)

1 red pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped                               

200g bacon lardons                                                      

1 onion, chopped

150-200g of pasta

Tomato puree to taste

Mixed herbs*(see picture)

Method:

Fry the lardons and garlic in oil and add the onions a couple of minuted before the bacon's done.

Put the pasta on to boil. This takes on average about 8 minutes but check the packet.

Add the creamed tomatoes to the lardons and stir constantly over a medium heat.

Add in the herbs and tomato puree, tasting and adding more as you wish.

Drain the pasta and pour the sauce over the top. Enjoy!

*I used basil, thyme, rosemary and sage and about twice what's on this plate.

Any type of pasta's fine - I used penne because it happened to be in the house.

Serve with salad and bread
