Quick, easy and tasty receipe....family loved it. Did have to warm up each plate after I had plated as just 'tossing the pasta through the sauce' didnt warm the sauce up enough. Really nice tasting dish though.

I added 4 tablespoons of garlic (since me and the hubs love it so much) and 1/2 cup chopped onion when frying the bacon. I also used 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Overall, MOST excellent!! The entire family loved this and are certain to allow me to make this again. Thank you for a simple and delicious recipe.
