Fried Macaroni
"If you want something different, and love pasta, you'll like this.
I can't take credit for this, it was made up by my Mom one day when she wanted something different to eat. She was an an amazing cook. I had her make it many more times. Thank goodness I had her teach me this one, many other's I wish I'd paid better attention to."

Does the pasta need to be pre-cooked or is it cooked while in the frying pan?

Made as given, though I seasoned it with lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Easy to make & a great new way for me to serve up macaroni! Definitely a recipe worth keeping around! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef] -
I made this using elbow macaroni and 4 slices of bacon. I really liked how quick this was to make and how good it tasted. I'll definitely make this often. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012. -
Fast and easy comfort food! I used the precooked bacon so added a little margarine to fry it and the pasta in. I used whole wheat rotini and loved it with the salty bacon and garlic. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2012
