1 garlic clove , minced
150 - 180 g / 5 - 6 oz bacon , diced

Bring a large pot of water to the bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Cook pasta according to packet but minus 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add bacon and cook for 1 minute, then add garlic and onion and cook for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent and bacon is golden. Drain excess fat if desired.
04

Scoop out a mug of pasta cooking water, then pour about 1/2 cup into the skillet. Bring to simmer and stir, scraping the skillet to dissolve in all the golden bits stuck on the pan into the liquid.
05

Add tomato, bring to simmer and cook for 2 minutes, then turn down to medium-high.
