Sometimes at kidgredients HQ after cooking dinner for the kidlets...I'm over it. The witching hour exists even in the home of mummy bloggers! So...what to do? An easy pasta.
Mr kidgredients made bacon- from scratch and it is spectacular. The taste and texture is incredible, it's going to be a regular thing here because I love bacon!
So here's the easy pasta I made to capitalise on the ingredients I had lying around. I made a batch of ricotta for this recipe, but you can use store bought.
