Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water mixed with a pinch of salt to a boil.

Heat up a frying pan over a medium flame. Add the olive oil and start frying the bacon. Fry until the bacon starts to get a little crispy.

Add the onion and garlic and fry together for about 2 minutes while continuously stirring to cook evenly and prevent burning.

Next, lower the flame to low and add the tomatoes. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the pasta into the boiling pot of water and cook as per the package instructions.

Add the peas to the tomato pan. Sprinkle salt and black pepper, to taste, and mix together. Cook for about 7 minutes over a very low flame.
Add the cooked pasta into the tomato and pea pan and mix together.
