My 9yr old daughter loves mushrooms and bacon and this recipe has plenty of both! She loved it! Thanks for sharing! -
It was so wonderful we will add to a week meal so creamy it was great. But next time I will also add some dried tomatoes

This turned out great! I used turkey bacon and fat-free half and half and it was still rich and delicious. I did thicken the sauce with some flour/water at the end since it seemed a bit thin. I also used cheese tortellini instead of noodles. Great dish for the whole family. Thanks for posting! -
My husband and I loved this pasta! I lightened it up by using fat free half and half, and added a couple spashes of soy sauce, 1 chopped plum tomato, and wilted in half a bag of spinach. I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today!

This was delicious but it was too heavy from fat. I don't think I'll make this again.
