This was a simple recipe that my family loved. And I loved I didn't have to spend all night cooking it! I tried it with turkey bacon, but that made it too bland. I'm going to try it with regular bacon next time. And if you find it's too 'dry' just add more olive oil. Simple as that!

It was actually really good with whole grain pasta. I used only ½ a pound of bacon cause that's what was left in the fridge but all in all, I was really surprised with the result. And my family asked for more...

I loved this recipe. I like garlic and so does my family, so this was perfect for me to make. I am a beginner, so I try to look for things that are easy. My husband loved it. I read different reviews before trying the recipe. I did add extra oil and I added the garlic to the bacon at the very last minute. It was wonderful and easy.

Really good:) Needed extra oil than called for, and LOTS of salt and pepper.

to make this better you for sure have to add some extra garlic, olive oil, basil and salt especially is the key!!! I used whole wheat pasta and turkey bacon which I added minced onion too. Oh my goodness, it was super yummy! oh, if it is too dry, add more oil

Oh my gosh, where do I start! This was by far delicious the day I cooked it but it was bursting with flavor when we re-heated the leftovers the next day. This dish is exceptionally tastier the day after. Definately a new favorite in my home!

Worked for me. It was fast and easy and didn't involve cream which usually accompanies a carboanara sauce. Kids liked it too.

This recipe was ok but I did change a few things because I was out of items. I kept the bacon drippings and used that instead of the olive oil. I added the garlic and pepper to the bacon while it was frying to give the grease more flavor. I also added some dried basil. I am thinking about adding some mushrooms and onion next time. All in all this is a good basic recipe. My Fiance loved it.

The whole family loves this recipe. I've printed it for other family members to make.

I had the ingredients and read the reviews/comments and decided to escalate before even beginning. That dry and somewhat bland consensus bugged me, so I did the guy thing--hot stuff. I added a monster helping tablespoon of horseradish to the tossing ingredients along with a 6 oz. can of tomato paste and substituted sage for the oregano suggested by another reviewer (only because oregano gives me the urpie-urps). How can you get crumbly bacon when it's cooking with a chopped up vidalia onion (another basic recipe digression!)? --You can't. So I fried the skillet down to where the onion had disappeared and then riced the bacon with a sharp knife while it was still frying. Yeah, and 6 cloves of garlic, not 3 and about 10 spoons of virgin olive oil--lots of black pepper, too. Not bland or dry recipe, now, you betcha!!

Thanks for sharing your recipe! We were short on time and ingredients tonight. This was perfect for our dinner. We loved the taste--simple and not heavy like so many pasta recipes. Some modifications: a little more olive oil, whole wheat angel hair pasta (which tasted like regular pasta), and turkey bacon--Served w/ salad of mixed greens, spinach and carrots and with cheesy bread...mmmm! One of those meals that leaves you feeling you didn't overeat.

This was pretty good. I followed others' advice and sauteed some garlic and vidalia onions in olive oil and tossed it all together.

I did not like the raw garlic. Next time I will add it to the bacon just before it finishes cooking. One pound of bacon was too much, and without a sauce it all just slid to the bottom of the bowl.

pretty good, i didin't think i would like it without any sauce, so i made a basic white sauce and put the garlic flavor in that. i might have liked it better with out the sauce.

This was very simple to make and tasted very good. My 4 kids loved it. I will be making this again, next time I will probably add so veggies. I used this as a side dish, I wouldn't make this as a main course but it was great with the Garlic chicken recipe also from this site. Thanks Dali!!

This was a little bland for me even after I added some cheese. It's not a bad recipe however, it just doesn't have a lot of flavor. I even tried adding some of the grease the bacon was cooked in. Very fattening, but didn't really add to the flavor.

We soooo enjoyed this dish. I added alot of garlic as well as lots of pepper and fresh oregano. I added a little touch more olive oil just to make sure it wasnt to dry. I also sauted vidalia onion with the bacon which added so much flavour. I served it with brocolli and cheese sauce and salad. Talk about fattening, but worth ever bit.

The general consensus from reading others reviews on this recipe was that it was kind of dry. I added extra olive oil and doubled the amount of garlic. My family loved it.

I didn't like this. It was very bland. I will not make it again.

I loved this recipe. I had bought a big 'ol package of pre-cooked bacon at Sam's Club and was looking for a non-breakfast recipe to use it. This is it! I can't wait to make it again because I will saute the garlic in the olive oil before tossing it with the bacon and spaghetti. This was so quick and easy to make!
