Method
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Fry the bacon over medium-high heat until golden. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Chop into pieces.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add about ½ cup of the reserved pasta water, bring to a simmer and stir, scraping off all the bits stuck to the base of the pan.
- Add in the tomato-and-onion mix and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Add your pasta to the sauce and toss until all the sauce is soaked up. Add a little more pasta water if it’s too thick.
- Place the pasta into serving bowls, sprinkle over chopped bacon and grate over some Parmesan. Garnish with basil leaves to serve.
