Bacon with Penne Pasta

Cooking bacon cut into chunks and stir-fried until browned. Add chopped onion, green pepper, carrot and celery. Cook for ten minutes at a medium heat, stirring frequently

Add boiling water and tomato puree, and stir. Cook for fifteen minutes under glass, and add the basil and half a spoonful of smoked paprika.

I used wheat-free pasta, which cooks in the same sort of time as the regular variety (9 to 10 minutes).

Serve the bacon and the salsa on top of the pasta in a pasta bowl. Dress in some black pepper.
