    Microwave Instructions

    Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry. Prick tomatoes with a fork.

    In one provided tray, combine tomatoes, peas, and 2 tsp. olive oil. Add bacon to second provided tray.

    Microwave both trays uncovered until vegetables are heated through and bacon crisps, 2-3 minutes.

    Carefully remove both trays from microwave. Remove bacon from tray and set aside. Transfer half the vegetables to now-empty second tray.

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Bolognese sauce, vodka sauce, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine.

    Evenly divide pasta between both trays. Carefully pour sauce over both trays, dividing evenly. Stir to coat pasta. Top both trays evenly with crisped bacon (reserve a pinch for garnish), and cheese.

    Microwave again uncovered until heated through and cheese melts, 4-5 minutes.

    Carefully remove trays from microwave.

    To serve, garnish with reserved crisped bacon. Bon appétit!
