Step-by-Step Method

7-step method
01

Boil the pasta

Boil water in a large pot and season with salt. Boil the penne until it remains firm, according to the package. Reserve some pasta water for the sauce before draining.

02

Sauté the bacon and onion

Heat a large pan and add olive oil. Add the bacon pieces to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until they release the oil. Add the onion and sauté until it softens.

03

Add the peppers

Add green, red and yellow peppers to the pan. Cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring until the peppers soften slightly.

04

Garlic and spices

Add the garlic, fry for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Add bitter paprika and stir briefly; Be careful not to burn.

05

Assemble the sauce with tomatoes

Add the tomatoes. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the tomatoes release their juice and approach the consistency of sauce. If necessary, top it off with 2–3 tablespoons of pasta water.

06

Combine the pasta with the sauce

Transfer the drained penne to the pan. Turn for 1-2 minutes to ensure that the sauce adheres to the pasta thoroughly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

07

Serve

Remove from the stove and stir in the parsley. Divide on plates, sprinkle grated hard cheese on top and serve hot.
