This is yet another of my 'what's on hand?' recipes. I was trimming my
herbs yesterday and thought I should put them to use.
Spaghetti with bacon, hab and tomato (serves 2 generously)
250 g spaghetti
1 400 g tin diced italian tomatoes (or 4 fresh tomatoes, if ripe and
flavourful)
2 rashers bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sprigs each thyme, marjoram and oregano
3 habaneros
6 anchovies, roughly chopped (optional)
chile powder
olive oil
salt, pepper.
Bring a generous pot of water to boil with a small handful of salt.
Finely chop chillies and herbs together. When water is boiling, add
spaghetti, cook until al dente. Heat oil in a large skillet, fry bacon
and garlic until cooked, grinding pepper over meanwhile, then add
tomatoes. Cook until pasta is done. Drain pasta, add anchovies, herbs
and hab to sauce, with chile powder to taste. Either serve pasta
traditionally with sauce over, or toss pasta in sauce to take up
flavours and save for husband's lunch tomorrow...which is what I did.
Beats a sandwich!
