The last weeks I was too busy to participate the Presto Pasta Nights. But this week – only a few days away from holidays – my children and I were relaxed enough to prepare together
Homemade pasta with extra-easy tomato & bacon sauce
I was responsible for the pasta, the children for the sauce. It was fun and it tasted great.

Directions
1. Start with the pasta – you can make this in the processor, but the texture is better if you make it by hand. With a processor, pulse the ingredients together until they form a ball. By hand, mix the flours in a bowl, then make a hole in the centre, break in the eggs and add the tomato puree. Whisk the egg and tomato together with a fork, drawing in the flour. When the mixture starts to get too thick to continue, use your hands. The dough should be soft, but not sticky – add a little flour if necessary. Knead the dough briefly to smooth out, then roll into a ball and wrap in cling film. Leave to rest at room temperature for 20-30 mins while you make the sauce.
2. Chop the garlic, then cut the bacon into strips. Fry both in the oil until the garlic is golden. Tie the herbs into a bundle with string. Put them into the pan with the tomatoes, ketchup and seasoning, then simmer gently for 20-30 mins.
3. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil. Dust the work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Divide the dough into 3 pieces, wrap 2 in cling film, then roll out the third piece thinly, dusting regularly with flour. Roll it up loosely and cut into wide strips (2.5 cm or larger if you prefer) with a sharp knife. Lay on a floured tray then repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Drop the pasta (shaking off flour first) into the boiling water and cook for about 2 mins until just cooked through. Drain, then serve with the tomato sauce and parmesan on top.

Thyme for Cooking
Ulrike, that looks wonderful! Tomato pasta is sooo good and topped with bacon and tomatoes, Yum!
What a wonderful thing to do. I love cooking with my daughters and have since they were very little. Continue to build the memories and the bonds. Nothing does it quite like food.
Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights. We missed you last week.
Genau das richtige während einer sportlichen Fernfahrt mit dem Renner. Sieht gut aus, man scheint es förmlich riechen zu können.
Es ist zwar gerade erst 11, aber irgendwie kriege ich bei den Bildern Hunger………..
Homemade Pasta
Oh I am jealous. Homemade pasta is always so rewarding and such a treat. It is just too hot to contemplate at the moment though.
