This rich and warming pasta sauce combines crispy bacon with a creamy tomato base, infused with garlic, chilli, and fresh herbs. Inspired by Italian flavours, it comes together quickly from common pantry staples. The sauce simmers to develop depth before being finished with cream. It's versatile enough to pair with your favourite pasta shape for a satisfying meal.
