Boil the pasta in a large pan of salted water for 6 minutes, then add the peas and cook everything together for an additional 5 minutes, until both the pasta and peas are tender.

While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium–high heat. Fry the bacon pieces until they become crispy. Stir in the tomato sauce and let it warm through over low heat.

Preheat the grill to high.
