Bacon and Sausage Pasta

Pork sausages and bacon pieces in a tomato sauce.
This is delicious, filling and not too expensive to make. This feeds 3-4 people, or 1-2 with leftovers for the next day.

Ingredients:
- 8 pork sausages 
- 6 rashers of bacon 
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes 
- 1-2 handfuls of frozen sweetcorn 
- 1-2 handfulls of frozen peas 
- 3 teaspoons of salsa 
- pepper, salt and seasonings 
- enough pasta for around 3-4 people

Step One

Put the pasta in the pan with some water to boil until soft. Keep an eye on this while you cook so you don’t over-do it. 

Step Two

Cut each of the sausages into four chunks (I actually use scissors for this!), and lightly fry them for the designated amount of time of the packet. Usually about 10 minutes or so.

Step Three

Cut the bacon into small squares and when the sausages look almost ready, put them in the pan. Keep an eye on them so they don’t stick to the bottom and cook evenly.

Step Four

Pour the chopped tomatoes onto the meat in the pan, add the salsa, sweetcorn, peas, the pepper/salt, and some seasonings - and mix. I used ‘Italian Garlic’ which worked well.
Cook this in a low simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the pasta and serve with this on top.

You can always add some mushrooms or even some mixed peppers to this. Be creative!
