"This is a quick pasta I came up with, with ingredients I had on hand and my Husband loved, loved loved it. The bacon and the toasted coconut gives this dish an extra dimension. I served it with baked (bone in) chicken breasts but you could serve this dish with anything or on it's own."

Oh and we just got a puppy who is also a Tibetan Terrier. She is a pain....but of coarse I am still The Queen around here. My Sister Maddy & I and yes our Mom & Dad live in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada six months of the year and Naples, Florida the rest of the year. My Mom loves to cook and she is constantly on the internet looking for ideas and also has a library of cookbooks. Oh and by the way my Mom cooks us all our meals and also our doggie treats. As we are all in summer mode year round. Our favorite cookbook right now is "Best Summer Weekends" by Jane Rodmell.
