Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni. TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
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.
Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, fry the bacon for 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.
Add the cheese and creme fraiche and simmer for 2-3 mins, until the cheese is melted. Stir through the drained pasta. Add a splash of water, if required to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the bacon and cheese pasta between bowls.
