- Fry off the bacon, onion and garlic in a saucepan until the bacon is coloured and crispy and the onion and garlic are soft. The onion and garlic will take longer so while they are still cooking, take the bacon out and chop up.
- Add the bacon back to the onion mix, add the tomatoes, a twist of salt and pepper, a pinch of sugar and your herbs. You can also add your frozen vegetables here too. Simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to instructions. Remove from heat and drain.
- Add the pasta to the bacon and tomato sauce and mix together and serve.
