Spicy Pasta Bacon

When I'm feeling tired I'd still rather cook with what's in the house than shop for a ready meal (although Waitrose curries are a treat occasionally). There are a few regular 'no thought required' recipes we eat frequently when I can't be bothered.  Tonight was spicy pasta bacon (or penne arrabiata if you're feeling posh).  Whilst the pasta is cooking fry an onion in a little olive oil & add 3 rashers of chopped smoked bacon.  Fry for a few minutes then add chilli powder, a tin of tomatoes, salt & pepper.  Reduce the sauce whilst the pasta finishes cooking.  Tip the drained pasta into the sauce, adding a little of the pasta cooking water if the sauce is too thick, check the seasoning & serve topped with cheese.  Eat in front of the TV, preferably with a glass of wine.
