Seashell Supper

“Seashell pasta is served in a red sauce with bacon. My mom made this as a throw together meal when I was a kid She was surprised when, as an adult, I served it 'outside the family'. It's a wonderful kid-pleaser, and very easy to make. A meal in itself! Although, cornbread on the side is a great touch. Even the leftovers are delicious, warmed or cold. I often find myself with a fork digging into the leftover bowl right out of the fridge:)”

18yo son likes this - and it's filling. Bacon, onion, mushrooms - used spiced diced tomato with the liquid, spiced tomato sauce, add Italian seasoning, less water. Easy quick cheap meal with few ingredients. Serve with green salad and garlic bread and you're all set.

Thank you for posting this recipe - I never would have put the combo of bacon and tomato sauce together on my own! This was a wonderful way to use up pasta, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes that I had on hand in the pantry. I made a half recipe and wish I would have prepared the whole thing for leftovers! After reading comments I omitted the water from the recipe and added seasoning to our taste (Season All salt and Italian seasoning). It was delicious!

Good, in a pinch for something to make, however the flavor was just okay. I added some garlic and that seemed to help.

This was ABSOLUTELY delicious! I used a can of Italian Style diced tomatos that was already spiced with garlic and basil. Then as an extra I topped it off with some Italian Style shredded cheese. This is totally a meal I will crave. Big hit with my husband too!

I needed something really quickly tonight, and this fit the bill. The only thing I did differently was to add some garlic powder, and Italian herb blend. I topped it with a little grated Parmesan, and served it with garlic bread. Absolutely delicious! Thanks!

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars as written--good, but not great. I've also prepared this with 2 cups water and added a large can of baked beans. This changed the recipe substantially, but it was both healthier and more flavorful that way. I'd give it more like 4 stars with the beans, and will always add them in the future when preparing this dish.

I made the recipe as written except I used diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano because I felt it was going to need some seasoning. Perhaps it was not meant to have an Italian taste. It was OK but not teriffic. But...when my kids were young they would have loved it. Maybe I'll try again without the seasoned tomatoes.

This is a very tasty, quick, and easy supper to make. I used turkey bacon, since we don't eat much red meat and I wanted to cut down on the fat. My husband really liked it, as he got to feel like he was splurging with all the bacon. I've made this a couple of times and it's been good both times, so the recipe is consistent.
