A classic dish
What you'll need:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 150g of Cookstown unsmoked back bacon
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- handful freshly grated parmesan
- 1 small tub (200g) low-fat crème fraîche
- 300g tagliatelle
Method:
STEP 1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the bacon for about 5 mins until starting to crisp. Add the garlic and cook for a minute longer. Season and set aside.
STEP 2
Cook the tagliatelle according to the pack instructions and scoop out a cupful of cooking water. Drain the tagliatelle and tip into the frying pan with the bacon. Over a low heat toss everything together with the crème fraiche and half the Parmesan adding a splash of pasta water too if you need to loosen the sauce. Season to taste and serve twirled into bowls with the remaining Parmesan scattered over.
