Bacon and pea pasta bake
Tender pasta is tossed with savoury bacon, sweet green peas, and a rich tomato sauce, then topped with grated Cheddar and baked until golden and bubbly. The contrast of smoky bacon and sweet peas makes every forkful deeply satisfying. Serve bubbling hot straight from the oven for an effortless family dinner.
