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’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!
