• 50oml passata
• ½ tsp paprika

 

to make the garlic, bacon and chicken pasta, you should:

• cook the pasta according to the instructions – drain and rinse with cold water and set aside (this is a trick I learnt recently – works a treat!)
• in a large frying pan heat some oil over a medium-high heat, add the onions and cook until softened, stirring frequently
• meanwhile, chop the bacon and chicken into small pieces and add to the pan, reduce the heat slightly and cook until they meat is browned all over
• add the paprika and garlic to the pan and cook for about thirty seconds, stirring constantly
• add the passata to the pan, stir and cook for about fifteen minutes until the mixture has thickened
• add the pasta back to the pan, stir through and heat for about three minutes
• serve!
