Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.
- Heat olive oil in a frypan on medium-high heat. Cook bacon and chilli flakes for about 6 minutes, until crispy and fat has rendered out of bacon. Add white wine reduction and continue to cook, scrapping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute further, until mostly reduced.
- Add chopped tomatoes and salt measure to pan, bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until slightly reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When sauce has 5 minutes remaining, cook pasta. Use hands to separate pasta well before cooking to prevent them from sticking together. Cook in pot of boiling water on high heat for 3 minutes, until tender. Drain well and return to pot.
- Add pasta to pan with sauce and toss until well coated.
- Spoon pasta into bowls and top with Parmesan and basil.
