Love this recipe. I use it for weeknight meals and its always good. Only caveat - takes 20 minutes at least to simmer down the sauce. GOOD recipe!

This is a great go to recipe that can be simple when you need to do groceries, or doctored up with whatever great ingredients you have on hand. I do make some alterations for cost and health. For everyday eating, instead of heavy cream, I blend 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour and 1 cup skim milk. Heat until thickened. Double as needed. This is a basic white sauce, without the calories of heavy cream. I substitute the bacon for proscuitto, for cost and convenience, because I always have it in the freezer. Also this works with ANY pasta, so use whatever is in the pantry. There are no herbs in this recipe and I like to add a little thyme, parsley and lemon zest, which really wakes up the flavours. Club Hose brand lemon & herbs from the spice aisle works great too. Like others, I have added any type of onion, mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, spinach, etc. , depending on whats in the fridge. Be creative and enjoy!
