Notes

1. SUGAR: The sweetness and flavour of canned tomatoes is affected by the quality of the brand. Better value canned tomatoes can be a touch sour. To take the edge off, add a pinch of sugar.

2. Pasta per serving - I allow 80g / 2.5 oz pasta per person (uncooked weight), which is a generous bowl. This makes enough sauce for up to 100g / 3.5oz pasta per person. If you SCALE the recipe (hover over servings), just make sure you use a giant skillet to handle all the pasta. Tip: A largewok is brilliant for making a double batch in one go.

3. Nutrition per serving. The calories can be reduced by about 100calories by using turkey bacon, ham or lean bacon.
