    Try swapping the bacon for pancetta, very tasty!

    It would be helpful if recipes stated whether or not they are suitable for Diabetics.

    Really simple & everyone loved it! Added more bacon though, as I didn't think that 3 rashers would be enough... Used fresh pasta & the end result was very tasty. The chilli didn't make it hot, just gave it a bit of an edge so don't be scared to add it.

    I made this the main meal for valantines - easy and quick to make and with the pasta suggested absolutly fantastic but I agree with the comment above, I added extra bacon.

    Quite odd - I decided to use Basil instead of Parsely and Panchetta instead of Bacon before reading the suggestions. Yummy, good quick, easy and tasty dinner.
