  Delicious, quick, and easy! I often roast asparagus/tomatoes/bacon to make a salad, but had never thought of combining them with pasta. Couldn't get hold of pancetta so used parma ham but still lovely.

  Very very nice. My partner doesn't eat pork, so I changed the pancetta for smoked salmon. Tasted great!

  I used parpadelle instead of penne because it's what I happened to have in the cupboard, also the shop had run out of fresh basil so I substituted fresh tyme. I was lucky to have picked up some gorgeous organic cherry tomatoes that were just oozing with sweetness and perfect for roasting. The result was delicious. So quick and easy to make. Will certainly be making this again.

  This was very easy and very tasty. I have also used the cubed pancetta which worked just as well

  Loved this. Didn't have any basil, and added some single cream at the end as I had some to use up. I think it added an extra richness. Good, simple, recipe.

  This is a seriously tasty recipe and one I shall use again, substituting asparagus for some other vegetables when they are out of season. I used some really good tomatoes (Sundream but I'm sure any sweet, full-flavoured ones would be equally tasty) and that absolutely made the dish.

  Really tasty and really easy to do. Have made it twice now and used chicken thighs instead of bacon the second time. Delicious!

  This is one of my favourite pasta recipes as its so tasty and quick for a mid week meal. I half the ingredients as there is only myself and my husband but I still use the 6 slices of pancetta as it gives it extra flavour. Recommend to any pasta lovers who work full time!!

  I made this and the whole family absolutely loved it!! Making it again this evening - It's a winner for clean plates and it's a lovely healthy option. I'm planning on adding some garlic to my next batch and green olives.
