how to make pasta blasta

Mix all of the blasta ingredients together and keep in a small jar with a lid on

Bring to boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta as directions whilst the onions and bacon cook. Drain once cooked.

Assemble your ingredients

Heat a large saute pan and add the oil

Soften the onions over a low heat, stir often

Add the bacon and stir until thoroughly cooked through

Once cooked, turn the heat up and allow the bacon & onions to just catch and go a little brown around the edges

Turn heat back down and add the parsley and blasta spices and stir in. Make sure they are evenly distributed

Add the cooked pasta and grated cheese and fully combine whilst still over a low heat.

Serve before the cheese fully melts. Serve with my tear and share dough balls.
