Made this very simple pasta dish for Mark & Hazel. Its little pasta shells with bacon. First cut bacon into small pieces and pound some cloves of garlic. Fry the bacon till slightly crispy, add bit more olive oil and throw in the pounded garlic. Do not let it brown. Add parsley, salt & pepper and some flavoured breadcrumbs. If mixture look too dry, add splash of olive oil. Cook pasta shells, drain and keep a tablespoon or so of the pasta water. Drain and return pasta to the pot with the pasta water. Toss, add the hot bacon mixture, mix and serve! It smelt quite heavenly. It took half an hour to put the whole meal together.
