Ingredients:

Serving

400 g fresh fettuccine (or any type of long pasta will be fine)
100 g streaky bacon (i love bacon so i always use more)
2 large red chilies ( optional) or 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
2 garlic cloves
1 brown onion
1 tbsp olive oil
275 ml tomato puree
salt and black pepper
chopped fresh italian parsley (to garnish )

Directions:

Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water, following packet directions. Drain and keep warm.
Trim the rind from the bacon and chop finely. Halve and de-seed the chillies if using, chop finely. Peel and chop the garlic and onion.
Heat the oil over a medium heat. Fry the bacon gently until the fat begins to run. (at this stage I normally drain some of the fat away, but it's a personal preference).
Add the onion and garlic and cook til slightly softened. Add the tomato and the chillies or chili powder. Simmer until slightly reduced. Season to taste.
Return the pasta to the pan, stirring through until thoroughly mixed and hot.
Garnish with the parsley and serve.
Enjoy :).
