I love pasta – it is hands down my favourite kind of food. I’d happily eat it every other night for the rest of my life. Had a lovely pasta last night – so fresh tasting and cheap! We are on a money saving drive right now. I’ve been put on a tight budget. And pasta is the perfect budget food i reckon. Here’s what i did (and excuse the confusing amounts – i don’t measure very well!)
Spicy Tomato and Smoked Bacon Pasta Sauce (For 2 – 3)
Can chopped tomatoes
Tablespoon tomato puree
2 large cloves garlic chopped
Extra Virgin Olive Oil for frying and drizzle for serving
3 rashers smoked streaky bacon (chopped)
1 onion (finely chopped)
Large glass of white wine
2 red chillies sliced (1 with seeds removed)
¼ teaspoon sugar
Ripped fresh basil leaves
Salt and generous amount of course ground black pepper
Method
Fry chopped onion for 1 minute in olive oil, add streaky bacon and fry till cooked, add garlic and 1 chilli with seeds fry for further 30 seconds and then add wine and bring to boil. After 30 seconds add tomatoes, puree and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes then add remaining chilli, and salt, pepper and basil to taste. Add a generous glug of olive oil and serve over your favourite pasta. Mmmmm. Extra tasty with fresh grated parmesan, chopped parsley and a pinch of extra black pepper.
