Ingredients

  • 400 g Pasta, spaghetti, whole grain

  • 1 spoon Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 100 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 700 g Tomato, red

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 120 g Beans, fresh

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 125 g Cheese, mozzarella

Steps

  1. Place a large pot with plenty of water on the stove and wait for the water to boil. Cut the bacon into thin slices. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Wash the tomatoes. Use a knife to remove the stem and make a cross-shaped cut on the rounded side. Dip the tomatoes into the boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and let them cool.

  2. Salt the water in the pot and add the pasta. Cook it for the time indicated on the package.

  3. Once the tomatoes have cooled slightly, peel off the skin. Optionally, remove the seeds, then cut them into smaller pieces. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain the excess fat (leave only one tablespoon of fat in the pan). Add the tomatoes and chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes soften (about 5 minutes). If needed, add a little liquid. Then add the peas and cook everything together for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.

  4. Drain the cooked pasta well. Add the bacon slices to the sauce and mix in the drained pasta. Stir everything well and remove the pan from the heat. Drain the mozzarella and tear it into smaller pieces, then add it to the pasta. Mix everything together once more, serve on plates, and enjoy.

Advice

When cooking pasta, follow the rule of using 1 liter of water for every 100 g of pasta. For every liter of water, use 10 to 12 g of salt. Optionally, you can add some fresh basil to the sauce. Instead of fresh tomatoes, you can use canned peeled tomatoes.
