Whip up a tasty pea, pumpkin and bacon spaghetti in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 500g Garofalo spaghetti
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 300g bacon rashers, rind removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 400g butternut pumpkin, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 2 x 400g cans crushed tomatoes
  • 120g pea
  • 82.50 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves
Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta in a generously salted large saucepan of boiling water as per the instructions on the packet, or until it is al dente. Remember to drain the pasta and save 1/4 cup (60ml) of the cooking liquid.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook bacon for 3 mins, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Cook onion and pumpkin in the same pan for 3 mins until lightly browned.
  • Stir in tomato and reserved cooking liquid into the onion mixture and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and the sauce thickens. Add peas, pasta, and half of the bacon, then cook for an additional 2 minutes until peas are tender.
  • Distribute mixture into individual bowls and garnish with the remaining bacon and parsley.
