description: A tomato sauce with crispy bacon pieces, served with pasta.
ingredients:
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 sticks celery, diced
- Fresh tomatoes, diced
- Load of garlic, minced
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- Bacon
- Pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Fresh basil, torn into pieces
method:
- Dice onion, celery and tomatoes, and heat in a pan with oil
- When softened, add garlic for a few minutes
- Add chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper, herbs, and half of the basil
- Leave to simmer
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon and pasta separately
- When bacon is cooked, chop into small pieces and add to the sauce
- Drain pasta a few minutes before fully ready, and add to the sauce
- Add chopped parsley and the rest of the basil
- Heat for a few minutes, and serve
notes:
- I used a handful of cherry tomatoes, but I suppose any kind of tomato will do
- I also only used 1 tsp dried basil instead of fresh leaves, and it was still very nice
