Golden bacon, meets saucy chilli sugo and al dente spaghetti in our amatriciana-style pasta number. If that doesn't get you salivating, the crumble of marinated goat cheese will have you coming back for seconds (and thirds!). We’ve replaced the fettuccine in this recipe with spaghetti due to local ingredient availability. It may be a little different to what’s pictured, but just as delicious!

Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a
generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil
over high heat.
• Cook spaghetti (see ingredients) in boiling
water, stirring occasionally, until ‘al dente’, 9
minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water(see ingredients).
Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan. Drizzle
with olive oil if needed.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still
slightly firm in the centre.
- Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients). Roughly chop bacon.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook onion and bacon, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
- Add tomatoes and Nan's special seasoning and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium, and stir in tomato sugo, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the reserved pasta water, and simmer until slightly reduced 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and add cooked fettuccine, tossing to combine. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the pasta looks dry.
- In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add rocket and toss to coat.
- Divide amatriciana-style bacon fettuccine between bowls. Crumble over marinated goat cheese. Drizzle over oil from goat cheese. Top with dressed rocket. Enjoy!
