EASIEST PASTA DISH
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved the flavor of the bacon. I usually don't use the speciality bacon she uses but I can glad I did in this case. It... made the dish. I made the whole recipe even tho there is just two of us and we are not big eaters but froze half the sauce for another time. The fennel salad with it was very refreshing. Read more

TERRIBLE MISTAKE
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

It was awful. The sauce tasted metallic because of the canned crushed tomatoes. Use fresh tomatoes and it'll work way... better. Read more

Very easy and tasted great! I did use the whole package of bacon since I would never use pepper bacon for anything else -... turned out great! Read more

Very Good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe, I only changed a few things. I used a vadalia onion (i like the flavor of vadalia more than red), 9 pieces of... bacon, a little red wine about a minute before I added the broth and diced tomatoes, and i used penzy's pasta spice instead of fresh parsley. Came out perfectly, Not bland at all! Read more

A nice change from the traditional Italian pasta
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was intrigued with the recipe when I saw it on TV. But I cannot have too much sodium, and most things are too salty for... me. So I made some changes that made it work well for those who don't like salty dishes. I subsititued no-salt petite diced tomatoes for the fire-roasted ones, and found (much to my utter delight) the Kitchen Basic brand of "Unsalted Chicken Stock"! I used an extra 14 oz. can of tomatoes, some "Slap Ya Mama" hot seasoning for some extra kick (red pepper flakes would work too!), and plenty of parsley. And don't be afraid of the sharp white cheddar... it was wonderful! The whole dinner was a huge success, and one I will definately make again.Read more
