My family loved this pasta dish. I used a 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes, but the pasta could have used more tomatoes. I added a little tomato sauce for moisture. I didn't add the green chilies, and adjusted some of the spice amounts. The bacon in this was great - I made sure it was nicely crisp before adding the onion to the skillet. Fresh parmesan and lots of parsley finished it beautifully. I'm happy I found this dish - it was perfect for a casual dinner with crunchy bread and corn on the cob.
