Easy Pesto Pasta with Bacon

Put the garlic, basil, Parmesan, almonds and lemon juice into a food processor bowl and whiz until smooth.
2 Garlic cloves, 80 g Basil, 70 g Parmesan, 70 g Almonds, ½ Lemon
Slowly add the olive oil down the funnel and pulse into the pesto. Spoon into a bowl and season with salt if needed.
150 ml Extra virgin olive oil
Grill the bacon rashers until crisp and chop them up into small bits.
6 Streaky Bacon Rashers
Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil and cook your chosen pasta according to instructions.
350 g Pasta
Drain the pasta, then spoon through enough pesto to coat the pasta (you'll have some leftover, which you can store in the fridge in a clean jar).
Spoon into bowls and sprinkle over the crispy bacon bits. Serve with extra Parmesan if you like things cheesy.
