The creamy tomato sauce coating the linguine in this Italian-inspired dish is made all the better with slightly salty bacon. Blistered cherry tomatoes and grated Italian style cheese add even more deliciousness.

- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine then bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot (off the heat).
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- While the linguine cooks, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the lardons until golden, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
- Add the onion to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.
- Add garlic, tomatoes, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and another pinch of salt. Fry until tomatoes are softened, 6-7 mins.
- Add the passata, creme fraiche, stock and paprika.
- Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
- Toss the linguine through the sauce to coat and warm through.
- Divide your pasta between deep plates or bowls.
