I really liked the flavor of the vegetables and seasonings with the pasta. The touch of bacon was really nice. As expected, leftovers on the second day were even better and the pasta had absorbed most of the liquid. Next time, I will thicken the broth with tomato paste or cream. For our tastes we prefer a creamier or thicker sauce with pasta. Great "clean-out" recipe.
