This dish may be simple to create but it’s bursting with complex flavours. Sweet tomatoes pair perfectly with salty bacon simmering in a herby, tomatoey sauce. Throw in some fettuccine and top with a scattering of Parmesan for an unforgettable dinner delight!
We’ve replaced the spaghetti in this recipe with fettuccine due to local ingredient availability. It may be a little different to what’s pictured, but just as delicious!

• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. • Pick thyme leaves. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook veggie mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add snacking tomatoes and cook, until slightly blistered, 2-3 minutes.
• To pan, add savoury seasoning and garlic paste and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in passata, light cooking cream, vegetable stock, thyme and the reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach leaves and cooked spaghetti. Season with pepper.
