This was a delicious version of a BLTA sandwich, in a pasta main dish! My family loved it & I could eat it again today if we had any leftovers. I used a whole pound of bacon, as we usually like extra in everything. I loved the fresh basil & the roasted tomatoes. DH was really impressed with the tomatoes. As you bite into them they taste like they're filled with flavorful spices after being roasted with the garlic. Delish! This was a nice, light summer pasta but I think we'll eat it all year round. :) Thanks again, Katanashrp, for another super recipe! Made & enjoyed for my adopted baby during Fall 2009 Pick A Chef. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=310505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 -
This was delicious! I was looking for a vinegary summer pasta to make and this was perfect. I thought I didn't like bacon, but when I had it in this dish it was great. I think that every ingredient is important in this except maybe for the avocado, which got lost. But I love avocado, so I don't mind keeping it in anyway.
