This is a fabulous recipe from Taste of Home that I have been making for years. The bacon gives a big flavor boost. Super fresh tasting.

Since there are only three of us, I halved the recipe. I used pre-cooked bacon and gluten free pasta. This was a wonderful dish. Served with baked chicken. Thanks for posting this. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.
