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!
