Ingredients:
1 onion (130g) finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ green chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
1½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g bacon, rind removed and chopped
400g can plum tomatoes
100ml (120g) passata
2 tbsp white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh boiled pasta to serve
Parmesan cheese to serve
Method:
1 Place the oil in a large saucepan (do not use non-stick), and heat
for a few minutes.
2 Gently fry the onion, garlic and chilli for 2- 3 minutes without
browning, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
3 Add the chopped bacon to the pan and fry for a further minute.
Place the lid on the pan and cook over a medium heat for
5 minutes.
4 Add the plum tomatoes, passata and wine, season with a little salt
and pepper to taste.
5 Place the lid on the pan and simmer gently for 25 minutes, or until
the onions are tender.
6 Ten minutes before the sauce is ready, cook the pasta according
to the pack instructions.
7 Use the Blending Leg at speed 4 on the Variable Speed Control to
make a smooth sauce. This can be done in the pan as long as the

using the Precise Control Trigger, gently moving it across the pan
until the desired consistency is achieved. For a smooth sauce, this
should take about a minute.

necessary then serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.
