REALLY nice. We couldn't get any linguini, so we substituted it with fettucini. I thought the garlic was just the right amount, and you could just taste that bite under the parmeggiano reggiano. Whenever you took a bite of the bacon, though, it really did over power everything else, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and making sure it was crisp really did provide a nice balance of texture. We just had it on its own, and it was delicious.

A great presentation along with green salad and garlic toast. I used a full pound of bacon, 6 garlic cloves and crushed pepper and Tabasco to jazz up the sauce before adding to linquine. Used an 8 oz. bag of grated mozarella/provolone mix and freshly grated Parmesan Ragiano(well worth the extra cost). Recipe fed 8 people and they ALL loved it. Easy and delicious. I will definitely serve this again.

This recipe was quick, easy, and delicious. I had reservations about the soy sauce mixed in with the pasta sauce, but you couldn't even tell it was there. My DH, DD, and even DS liked it, but DH and I thought we should have added more spice (ie: blk and red pepper) to give the sauce more zest. I included a salad and garlic breadsticks to complete the meal.
