One Pot Bacon Pasta
The secret to this dish is cooking your linguine in the same pan as you've fried your bacon, before adding in a measured amount of stock. You then throw in your raw ingredients: garlic, cherry tomatoes, cheese and herbs, to cook as one; marrying together to form perfectly cooked pasta and a silky smooth sauce.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Chop the bacon finely
Heat a large, dry pan with a lid over a medium heat
Once hot, add the bacon and cook for 3-5 min until crispy
Add 700ml [1.4L] boiled water to the bacon and crumble in the stock cube[s]
Whisk to dissolve the stock cube[s] and bring to the boil
Meanwhile, chop the cherry tomatoes in half
Grate the cheddar
Peel and finely slice the garlic
Peel and slice the onion[s] finely
Once the stock is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the linguine (break the linguine in half if it doesn't fit)
Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, dried oregano, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and half the grated cheddar to the pan
Add 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil, 1 tsp [2 tsp] sugar and 1 tsp [2 tsp] pepper to the pot
Cover with a lid and cook for 5 min
After 5 min, remove the lid, and stir continuously until the pasta is cooked and a sauce has formed (add more water if it looks too dry)
Tip: stirring the sauce releases the starch from the pasta making it naturally creamier
Meanwhile, chop the basil finely, including the stalks
Once the linguine is cooked, remove from the heat and stir in the basil and remaining cheddar
Serve with a good grind of pepper
Enjoy!
