Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Dolmio Stir-In Pasta Sauce for Carbonara
  • 200 g Penne pasta
  • Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Rapeseed Oil
  • 3 links Uncooked chorizo sausage diced
  • 2 rashers Smoked bacon thick cut
  • 1 Red chilli halved, de-seeded and finely sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic finely diced
  • 25 g Cheese finely grated
  • 1 tsp Dried mixed herbs

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil and add the pasta. Return to the boil and cook for the time on the packet over a fast simmer.
  • Add the oil and diced chorizo to a saute pan and fry gently for a few minutes to release the flavours and lovely paprika colour.
  • While the chorizo is cooking cut the bacon rashers into thin strips. Add the bacon strips to the pan and continue to fry over a gentle heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and chilli to the pan and fry for another couple of minutes stirring frequently so the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Drain the pasta when cooked al dente and add to the pan with the chorizo and bacon in. Stir well to coat the pasta with the pan juices.
  • Sprinkle over the herbs and give a quick stir to incorporate.
  • Add the carbonara sauce to the pasta and stir gently for a few minutes until the sauce is warmed through.
  • Serve in warmed bowls with some grated cheese on top.
