Step by step recipe

1	Cut 200 g Rillons de Tours into small pieces.

4	Add 300 g peeled and chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Reduce the heat a little, until the pasta is cooked.

6	Pour the pasta over the tomatoes and mix well. Add a little cooking water if too thick. Check seasoning.
7	Serve immediately.

Remarks

Of course, this recipe can be adapted to any pasta other than tagliatelle.
For a more gourmet recipe, add a little grated Parmesan cheese at the same time as the pasta.
If you don't have rillons, use lardons instead.
