Edit: I changed the main photo to another one cooking bacons separately for dietary.
This is something that reminds me my childhood in Japan. This is still my favourite dish so I occasionally cook it by myself.

At this time, I cooked it with ingredients that I could get from the kitchen in my office in the UK. But ideally, I want to use tomato sauce instead of chopped tomato, normal onion (not red one), 🌽, and bitter green pepper(ピーマン).

Steps

30 mins

1

Start boiling spaghetti without adding salt to the boiled water. Ketchup already contains enough salt so don’t worry about it. You can add salt if you prefer a firm taste
2

Cut veggies and bacons
3

Prepare a frying pan to heat olive oil and put garlic in it when the oil is ready
4

Fry bacon for about 2 mins
5

Then fry vegetables for about 3 mins with a pinch of salt and white pepper
6

Add the sauce to the frying pan and mix everything on the pan well with low heat
7

Add boiled spaghetti to the frying pan and put sliced butter on it. And then mix them well as quick as possible. The sauce is not that watery.
8

Serve your pasta with chopped paserly or grated cheese if you have one! (but I didn’t this time, as I was lazy.)
