This was a good recipe. I used broccoli and found it to be dry once the broccoli went in (I made the bacon in a cast iron pan, which could be the reason), so I had to add more olive oil, and water. I also cooked the garlic for less time to prevent burning, and I used lower salt bacon. The family really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting, I will be making this one again.

Substituted pancetta for the bacon. Have to watch the garlic carefully, otherwise it browns and becomes bitter. Also needed some extra liquid at the end - I used fat-free half/half.

A little too greasy for my liking, but tasted good. I probably won't make it too much because of the grease. I have a similar (but lighter) recipe that I like more but if I want something heavier I may pull this out every now and then.

This pasta was great. I used spiral pasta and made enough for 2 people. I didn't measure any of the ingredients just made it by hand and taste. I kept on adding the bacon drippings until it made it nice and easy to pass. And added roma tomatoes to this pasta and instead of salt added just a bit of garlic salt n pepper. Made this as a side dish to top sirloin steak made on the grill.

This really was great! Super garlicky! I got rid of about half the bacon grease as it was quite a lot. I also added some cherry tomatoes as per some of the suggestions and some basil at the end. Zucchini and red pepper would probably be really nice too!
