Method

Cook pasta in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and keep warm in a casserole dish.

Cook bacon in a health grill and chop into small pieces. Sauté chopped peppers and finely chopped onion until soft.

Mix cornflour with a little of the yogurt. In a saucepan, mix remainder of the yogurt and eggs together, heat and add blended cornflour. Cook for a few minutes stirring continuously.

Season and stir in the bacon and onion. Pour over the pasta. Sprinkle with cheese and brown under the grill. Serve immediately.

For the tomato salad, cut tops of tomatoes and set aside. Scoop out centre of tomatoes, turn upside down and leave to drain. Chop apple and discard the core. Put the apple in a bowl, sprinkle with the orange rind and juice, then add remaining ingredients, except lettuce. Mix together.

Divide mixture between tomato cups, serve on lettuce and top with tomato lid.
