Ingredients
1tsp rapeseed oil
½ onion, chopped
1 rasher smoked back bacon, chopped
½ x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
250g fresh egg penne
50g frozen peas
30g fresh mozzarella, drained and chopped
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
2
Heat the oil in a pan on a medium setting. Fry the onion for 5 mins until soft. Stir frequently so it doesn’t catch and burn. Add the bacon, turn the heat up a little and fry for another 5 mins until starting to crisp.
3
Tip in the tomatoes, half-fill the tin with water and pour this into the pan. Season with black pepper and simmer for 5 mins. Stir in the penne and frozen peas and tip into an ovenproof baking dish about 20cm x 25cm. It should be quite saucy as the penne will soak up some liquid when cooking.
4
Stir in the mozzarella and cover with foil. Bake for 25 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 5 mins until the pasta is tender and the cheese melted.
