How to make bacon, tomato and camembert pasta
Simply cook the pasta in boiling water till al dente, cook
the bacon squares with crushed garlic, and chilli flakes, and the tomatoes and
the sugar and cook till the sauce is a jam like consistency. Add the cheese and
allow to melt, then add the cream and cook till it thickens a little. Add the
pasta, and coat in the sauce

after work dinner for those lazy days when you are just too tired to cook.
This recipe is ideal for adults and children, it is quick to
cook and perfect for a work night dinner on those extra busy days. It is a
great dish for cheese lovers, and it is a delicious comfort food recipe.
If you are cooking the dish for a special occasion, pick a
different pasta possibly one of the oversize shells or penne, and for that
extra special touch serve with a selection of delicious continental breads.
This recipe has a tartness from the tomatoes, a crispy saltiness
from the bacon, both these cut through the rich and creaminess of the cheese
Serve this delicious cheesy pasta with grated parmesan and
garlic bread in the winter and a light green salad in the summer, with a
balsamic dressing or a cider vinegar-based dressing.
Feel free to add extra items to the dish, such as diced
cooked chicken or alternate the cheese with whatever cheese you have in the
fridge, the dish is better suited to strong flavoured cheeses and can be the
ideal recipe to use up left over cheese board cheeses.
The combination of two cheeses, bacon and tomato makes this
pasta dish delicious. The star of this recipe is the mixture of the sharpness
of the tomatoes which cut through the richness of the Emmental and camembert
cheese make this a delicious cheesy tomato sauce. We are great fans of spinach
and whole-wheat pastas but this dish is best served with a plain traditional
pasta.
