My favourite pasta dish! My boyfriend always asks me to make it, so I'm guessing it's his favourite too. It's quick and easy, doesn't leave a tonne of washing up to do afterwards, yet so delicious and satisfying, both hot and cold. Thank you!

Simple to make and tastes brilliant. Made a pile of it and kept it for lunches really nice stuff.

Very tasty, used single cream instead of creme fraiche as it was all I had in, will definitely make again, quick easy and yummy!

This recipe looks lovely but the diary free option is no good as there is cheese in pesto! Another suggestion would be great!

I made this quick and easy pasta dish for a family get together, serving it with a salad. It was a huge hit especially with my 13 year old grandson. He can be a picky eater, but had two helpings - a rare event. Even more amazing, he is learning about different types of pasta at school and had to take in a favourite recipe, and say why teenagers would like it. His comment was that it's the best pasta he'd ever had, and he's a teenager!

made this tonight, used red pesto and didnt add the creme fraiche as shop didnt have any. also added a garlic clove when frying the bacon and mushroom. this was one of the nicest pasta dishes i have had, really enjoyed it and will definitely be making it again

Great with cherry tomatoes too and wholewheat pasta!

Again very quick just make sure you have good bacon otherwise the pesto can be over powering

This recipe is very simple, but not particularly good unless you make your own pesto. But ultimately this dish tastes as simple as it is.

This caught my eye over the weekend, and so glad I have tried it. Really quick and easy and full of flavour! Tasty!

Really easy and tasty. I used red pesto. Even managed to create it on a camping stove on the beach!

This is so easy to do and so tasty. But I think the measurements of bacon and mushrooms are mean for 4 people! Maybe I'm piggy but I like lots of mushrooms!!

I was delighted to see that this recipe could be made dairyfree. HA HA!!
Pesto contains parmesan so using it to replace creme fraiche is not going to help. A lovely recipe to make when my daughter is not here, though.

Tasty - took a long time for the bacon and mushrooms to cook together, so will do separately next time.

Made this tonight for tea, quick easy and tasty but quite salty I guess due to the bacon!! Would prob make again, especially If in a hurry.

Nice and quick, very simple but wasnt the most exciting dish x

Just loved this recipe so easy to make and tasted wonderful. In addition to the above, to start we fried off a red chilli and garlic in a little olive oil and added some cherry tomatoes when cooking the bacon and mushrooms, finally topped it off with some grated parmesan cheese when ready to serve - really, really good!

I also added some plum tomatoes, lovely great for pack lunch next day.

YUM!! Use a 1/4 of a cup of the pasta water - 175g Crete Fraiche and the 4tsp of pesto - I always use Green (basil) pesto and it comes out creamy all the pasta coated but not sticky!
I have a fussy 12 year old and he just ate the whole lot of what I dished up for him - I'm surprised !! Lol

Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to have this again. Just used a jar of cheap red pesto and a decent sized dollop of creme fraîche (not too much though - I don't actually like the taste of creme fraîche) and it was perfect. Quick, cheap, easy and yummy.
