How to get dinner ready in 15 minutes. In a saucepan, add water and once it comes to a briskly boiling point, add salt and pasta of your choice.
In a separate bowl, add olive oil, mixed herbs, salt & black pepper. Panfry bacon gently in a small pan. When crispy, remove pan from heat and add one clove grated raw garlic. Put aside. Now you have the oil mixture and the bacon mixture ready.
By this time, the pasta will be just about ready. Drain and add to bowl with the oil mixture with 3 tbs pasta water. Toss quickly. Add bacon/garlic mixture/oil mixture. Some freshly grated parmesan will be nice at this stage. Dust with chilli flakes if required.

Adjust seasoning if necessary and tuck in!
