Loved it Loved it Loved it

This was just a great twist on a pasta. Instead of using "pork/bacon" I used turkey bacon and it tasted great. My family... loved it and I am going to make this again and again and again. Read more

tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this meal since it had a bit of a twist with the bacon. I think next time I will try it with the pancetta. The bacon... made the sauce a little greasy but overall it had great flavor and was very easy to make!Read more

Really Didn't Care for the Flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Made this with whole wheat pasta and fresh roma tomatos and canned romas. I did not care for the taste or texture of this... dish. I am surprised by the great reviews. I won't be making this again, but different strokes for different folks!Read more

I COULDN'T STOP EATING THIS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I USED PANCETTA, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I TASTED IT & WAS VERY PLEASED, IT HAD MORE FLAVOR THAN BACON, ALSO I USED DRIED &... FRESH BASIL & HALF THE CHILI FLAKES, IT TURN OUT SO GOOD. MY HUSBAND LOVED IT. THE ONLY CHANGE I WOULD MAKE IS NOT TO COOK THE TOMATOES AS LONG. MAKES GOOD LEFTOVERS TOO!Read more
