SPAGHETTI WITH SPICY TOMATO, BACON AND MUSHROOM SAUCE
This version of the classic Italian recipe, spaghetti Amatriciana is a perfect example of fast food as it should be - whilst the pasta cooks the sauce is prepared all ready to eat in less than 30 mins! What's more any leftovers could be served cold the next day as a pasta salad in a packed lunch box.
