Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, add a generous pinch of salt,
then bring to the boil over high heat.
• Cook penne, uncovered, until 'al dente', 12 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people).
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, finely chop tomato.
• Thinly slice onion.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and onion, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Add tomato and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, add garlic & herb seasoning, cream (see ingredients) and the reserved pasta water. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
• Remove pan from heat and gently stir through cooked penne and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide creamy bacon penne between bowls. Enjoy!
