Love this pasta, it is a great alternative to your typical spaghetti. Very easy and quick to make. I do not use olive oil to cook my bacon, it add too much additional grease that isn't needed. I ended cooking my bacon in a non-stick pan so the olive oil it not needed. <br /> <br />I love serving it with the sharpe white cheddar which you can't find everywhere. I often sub in Montery Jack which is a nice white cheese.
