5large ripe tomatoes
140g spaghetti
3 tbsp olive oil
100g diced bacon or lardons
2 garlic cloves , chopped
50-85g/2-3oz soft fresh rindless goat's cheese
handful basil and/or snipped chives

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over the tomatoes to cover, leave for 1 min, then drain and slip off the skins. Quarter and seed the tomatoes, then chop the flesh.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the spaghetti and give it a stir. Boil for the timing given on the pack.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the bacon and fry until starting to crisp up. Add the garlic, tomatoes, the rest of the oil and pepper and salt, if using. Heat through for 1-2 mins until just simmering.
