This recipe was very easy and the flavor was excellent. My kids didn't really like the texture of the bacon since I followed the instructions for cooking it until it "renders some fat". Next time I will let it crisp a bit before continuing to step 3.

FANTISTIC! And just as delicious re-heated. So it's fantastic for dinner and the leftovers are fantastic to send off with my husband for lunch. I use Olive Oil instead of butter, but that's just the Italian in me coming out, I barely use butter at all in my cooking. Seriously though, my husband is from England and Pasta Bolognese is a staple in the English diet and he says that this is BY FAR the best "SpagBol" he has EVER had. Compliments!!!

This turned out great! I used Pancheta but otherwise wouldn't change a thing! Served it with Linguini Pasta. Thanks
