Ingredients
- 1 onion
- a few rashers of bacon or a pack of lardons
- 1 400g tin of tomatoes
- Creme fraiche
- black olives
- fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- sugar
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan or casserole dish, snip the bacon into pieces and fry - if they're not very fatty, add a little oil, otherwise let them cook in their own fat
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and add it to the bacon once it's crisp. Saute gently. If the bacon hasn't released much fat/ water, add a little butter or a splash of red wine for the onion to cook in
- Add the chopped garlic, let it cook for a minute or two, then add the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar
- Bring to the boil then reduce heat and allow to simmer gently to reduce and thicken a little (about ten mins). Destone and add olives. You could put the pasta on at this stage, or leave it to simmer for a while longer (just stir occasionally)
- Just before serving, stir in lots of fresh, chopped parsley and a tablespoon or two of creme fraiche. Check seasoning and serve over pasta
