200g / 7oz pasta (any shape of choice)
350g / 12oz bacon chops
400g / 14oz can chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano

50g / 2oz fresh white breadcrumbs
75g / 3oz Cheddar cheese, grated
seasoning to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until soft then drain.

Meanwhile, grill the bacon chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, cut into chunks and set aside.

Mix the tomatoes with the hot pepper sauce and oregano.

Layer the pasta in an ovenproof dish with the tomatoes, bacon and peas, seasoning each layer.

Mix together the breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and golden brown.

Serve immediately with salad or a selection of seasonal vegetables.
