Very good, I gave it 3 stars because this recipe would be very bland if made as is, though. I just made a few changes. I added twice as much bacon as the recipe called for, added 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp basil and 1 tsp oregono and I used tomato puree instead of stewed tomatoes (I hate chunky tomato sauce).

Wow! This is an awesome recipe. My husband travels quite a bit and has eaten at a lot of nice restaurants. He LOVED this. He told me it was restaurant quality. It is going under our "favorites" file. I've made it with turkey bacon and wheat pasta and gotten the same great results

Sooo yummy! I had to use different noodles and I forgot to add the parmesan cheese, but it still tasted great!! It's a refreshing twist on traditional spaghetti.

I made this dish for my fiance last night, added parmesan and a few basil leaves for garnish and he said he thought it was better than a lot of pastas he ate in restaurants. This was delicious, the basil was perfect and just enough chilli to give it a kick but not to burn forever. I will definately make this again.

I have made this twice and it is awesome! It worked better for me with linguine than with bow tie pasta. When doubling the bacon, I used 4 slices of regular bacon and 4 slices of pepper bacon to add a little more kick. Definately a keeper!

This was SO good! I also added white sangria and doubled garlic and basil. Served it over fettucini and it was delish!

This is an all-around great recipe---it's quick & easy, it's healthy & it's versatile. I followed other reviewers suggestions and added extra bacon, garlic & red pepper flakes. It was a little too spicy. Next time I will use the amount of red pepper called for. I also used diced tomatoes. I will use this recipe alot---thanks.

Yummy! I loved this, I did double the bacon and added a diced chicken breast and 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes and some extra seasonings but I really liked this, and it took less than 30 minutes!

I liked this recipe. I made a few changes. I used angel hair because that is what we had. I also marinated 2 chicken breasts and then sliced it thinly. I cooked the bacon and added onions and chicken until chicken was browned and then followed the recipe the rest of the way until the basil. I could not get fresh basil, so I bought the Basil that is in the produce section that is pureed. I added about 2 tsp. of that at the end and it all turned out good.

This is great! Did follow some of the other reviewers' suggestions: simmered the sauce for closer to 20 minutes, and added sliced fresh mushrooms and spinach, but only because I felt guilty about the bacon... :) We served it over frozen cheese tortellini, because it cooks up really fast, but we'll try it over linguine sometime soon. Thanks Christine!!

This was an excellent dish! My family really enjoyed it. The only change I made was to use more bacon. I even called a friend and told her to stop by on the way home and taste it because it was so good! She went home with the recipe and a sample for her husband, and she made it! Thanks for sharing!
