Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil 
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped 

  • 2 medium carrots, finely chopped 

  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped 

  • 3 rashers of streaky bacon roughly chopped 

  • Salt & Pepper 

  • 3 large potatoes peeled and chopped into medium chunks 

  • Hot water 

  • 200g dried pasta 

  • 100g Parmesan cheese, grated

Method

  1. Place a large saucepan on a medium heat. Pour in the olive oil, then onions, carrots, and celery. Stir for 2 mins.

  2. Add the chopped rashers and cook together for a further 5 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped potatoes so that they are coated in the vegetable mix and seasoning.

  3. Pour hot water into the saucepan to cover the potatoes. Cover and bring the contents of the saucepan to a simmer for 10 minutes or until the potatoes just begin to get a little soft.

  4. Stir in the dried pasta, return the pot a simmer and cook for as long as the dried pasta needs to cook through (check the instructions).

  5. Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
