Gluten-free Spaghetti with Bacon, Garlic, Chilli and Caramelised Balsamic Onions


This is a quick and easy recipe when you just want something tasty with no fuss. 

Ingredients (serves 2)
Spaghetti 
Bacon (how many rashes depends on how hungry you are)
1 large onion
Balsamic vinegar
1 red chilli
2 cloves of garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
Parmesan (optional)

Start by cutting the bacon up into small pieces and frying them off on a medium heat, meanwhile chop the onion. Once the bacon starts to take some colour add the onion and put the spaghetti on (gluten-free spaghetti tends to stick together so give it a good stir with a fork throughout the cooking process to separate the strands). Chop the garlic and chilli into thin slices. After 5 mins (or whenever the onions have started taking some colour) add the balsamic vinegar, let it cook out for a minute or so and then add the garlic and chilli. You may want to reduce the heat a little if needs be. Once the pasta is done drain it and add it to the frying pan with all the other ingredients along with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, mix well with some tongs and add salt and pepper. Serve up and add some parmesan if you wish. Enjoy!
