3 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 ounces smoked back bacon, chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes, in rich juice

FOR THE WHITE SAUCE
2 1/2 cups milk
2 ounces butter
2 ounces all-purpose flour
1 pinch fresh nutmeg

1
Fry the onions in the oil for about 15 mins until golden. Add the oregano and bacon and fry for 5 mins more, stirring frequently. Tip in the tomatoes, season and bubble uncovered for 5 minutes Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.

Meanwhile, make the white sauce. Pour the milk into a pan and tip in the butter and flour. Whisk continuously over a moderate heat to incorporate the flour, then simmer, stirring until thickened. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Scatter with basil, if you like, and serve with a salad and garlic bread.
