This is a yummy warm comfort food...a new "twist" on mac and cheese :) The bacon and tomatoes add great taste and it's pretty easy to prepare...all on the stovetop!

This recipe is great, easy to do. But we found it a little bit bland. It needed more taste. Personnaly, I would use mozzarella cheese in the sauce or another tasty cheese. Not just the parmesan. On my serving, I added mozzarella cheese on top and let it broil. Thanks Karen :) Made for TYM tag game

Incredibly easy to prepare; I actually just used half of the pasta, and had just enough sauce. Could use more seasonings though; maybe more pepper.

This was good. I used sun dried tomatoes instead of fresh. I even refrigerated it with the bacon in it and it tastes better the next day. It is a bit much for a family of four so you will have leftovers, depending on how much your family likes it and how hungry they are. BTW, this same basic recipe is on the back of the Muellers Rotini pasta box. Thanks for posting.

This was really delicious! I just substituted a few things based on what was on hand-- macaroni instead of rotini and dried cilantro instead of dried parsley. We served ours with some mixed veggies. It's been added to our regular rotation!
