Very nice. I added a few mushrooms too.

Used 8 ounces of peppered bacon, left out the broccoli & cayenne, & used pecorino instead of parmesan. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the broccoli. There's just something so simple & clean (ours wasn't greasy at all & the peppered bacon gave it just the right amount of seasoning) about the flavor combination, I feel the broccoli just takes over. We served it with garlic sauteed spinach & a simple chicken cutlet for a really nice, comforting meal!

Bland would definitely be the correct word to describe this dish. I gave it two stars because we ate it, but it was not a favorite. I will never make it again.

We doubled the amount of bacon (mmm!) and made sure to drain the grease before adding the broccoli and garlic. The pasta took longer to cook than anticipated so we would make sure to start that well in advance next time. Used a mixture of pecori romano and grated parmesan cheese along with the mozzarella. Very stringy and hard to stir, but who cares! The cayenne added a wonderful zing. Will definitely make again!

This was good, my family really enjoyed it. It was a little dry, will add some wine or chicken broth next time. I did substitute the cayenne pepper with crushed red pepper. Will def make it again.

Made this today. At first I drained the grease but once I cooked the broccoli I added a little back in. I liked the flavors of the dish but I was expecting the cheese to be more like a sauce instead of melted cheese.

My family of 6 all LOVED this recipe! I doubled it, though, and I'm glad I did.

This was a very recipe. I used turkey bacon instead of pork bacon. I used the entire package of bacon and added baby bella mushrooms. I also added a tablespoon of butter. Beside that I really enjoyed this dish.

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!
