I had bacon and mozzarella in the fridge, so I put them in the search and this seemed like a good recipe. As written it would be very greasy and bland. I drained some of the bacon grease and used 3 garlic cloves when it really could have used more. Also added salt and pepper, and garlic salt/powder. I had some leftover chicken in the fridge that I minced up and added. Next time I'll just make carbonara and call it good.

Absolutely delicious!! My boyfriend and I had two big plates and then stood over the pan and finished the rest WITH OUR FINGERS!! It was that good. I did use 4 cloves of garlic (and next time I'll use even more, 5-6), next time I'll also add a bit more cayenne pepper. I left out the parsley, just didn't have it. A bit greasy, I might sub turkey bacon and cut the cheese in half to save calories. Very tasty, definately will be making this again!

Bland. Basically bland pasta with mozzarella cheese. Boyfriend and I found it practically inedible!

Made this as is except used turkey bacon, and it was a little dry- had to add 1/4 C of H20 and a cube of chicken boullion most likely because the fat was greatly reduced. The taste was strange not bad just very different. We ate this but I won't make it again.

This recipe was okay. I found it to be very greasy and the cheese did not really mix well. I will try it again but cook the bacon first, then steam the broccoli. I think I will use velveeta cheese next time so the sauce is creamier. I would recommend it but would be better if all the ingredients were cooked separately and then added at the end.

Flavor was okay, but it definitely needs some kind of sauce. I added alfredo to try to rescue it. This is not a keeper.

Very tasty, and super easy to make. No leftovers, will definately make again:) Substituted broccoli for snow peas (all I had).

This went over really well with the family. I used chili powder instead of cayenne, and had to use dried parsley because I didn't have fresh on hand. I also had to use half mozzarella and half mild cheddar, but no one seemed to notice or care! It was still very good and I will make it again (maybe following the directions next time).

Delicious! I didn't have broccoli so I used peppers. Make enough for seconds! Also, next time I'll make less pasta per topping. Or more topping per unit of pasta.

I love mozzarella cheese now. This recipe has a great combination of flavours and I'll definately make it again! More cheese would be a good suggestion, as it gets dry near the end. Otherwise delicious!

I have made this twice now. We love it. I used peppered bacon, a LOT of garlic, fresh grated parmesan and cajun spice seasoning instead of the cayenne pepper. Delish! There is never leftovers!! LOL

My boyfriend is a very picky eater, but he loves this. I think sometimes it's a little greasy, but it does warm up well for leftovers. I also recommend using asparagus instead of broccoli for a nice change of pace!

This is a favorite for my husband. You can substitute 2 cups cubed chicken for the bacon with great results as well!

I agree with the previous comment about waiting for a sauce to form. This seemed like it needed some cream or some tomato sauce (or something). The texture was just kind of gloppy from the melted mozarella. Not a big hit at our house....
