Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Slice the bacon into 2cm cubes. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the bacon until crispy, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.
- Add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook until softened, 4-5 mins.
- Stir the pesto and creme fraiche into the pan.
- Add the pasta and stir to coat in the sauce. Remove the pan from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
NOTE: Adding beef strips? Just before serving, add the strips to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 mins.
4
- Divide the pesto bacon pasta between your plates.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese.
