I love pesto stirred into my pasta. It makes a gorgeously quick tasty meal and all you need to do is add some tinned tomatoes, a chopped onion, a bit of basil, some garlic and fish, chicken, or shellfish to turn a boring meal into something with a bit of a spark. I often turn to it when I'm strapped for time after a busy day at work.

During my search for quick to prepare and relatively easy recipes which don't exceed the weekly food budget, I came across this recipe from one of our favourite TV chefs here in the UK, Gino D'Acampo; a cheeky chef who always manages to bring a smile to your face.

As his name suggests, he's Italian and so his recipes often have a Mediterranean feel to them and this one is no exception.

Bacon is the best meat in the entire Universe.

Bacon can be eaten on sandwiches, eaten with beans, hash browns, fried egg and black pudding. It can be diced and thrown into loads of pasta dishes. Bacon is the King of meats.

This means that Bacon fritters are the King of fritters. Most people will know about banana fritters and spam fritters but few have heard of bacon fritters. Let me tell you they are delicious and really easy to make. This recipe article shows you how to make them and it will certainly make your mouth water.
