Instructions

Cook the Pasta

Add the Garlic

3

a) Once the bacon is cooked, drain any excess fat from the pan and pop back on the heat.

b) Add the garlic to the bacon and fry for 30 secs.

Bring on the Sauce

4

a) Stir the veg stock paste, creme fraiche and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the pan. Cook until piping hot, 2-3 mins.

b) Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to combine, then remove from the heat.

Peas Please
