This was really quick and easy. I used some lighter ingredients to bring down the calorie count. Delicious!

I love this recipe. I did make a couple of substitutions. I used low sodium bacon and I used whole wheat pasta.

I never make the same meal twice. My sons and I give each recipe a thumbs up or thumbs down rating. This recipe got a thumbs up from myself and the boys. Very easy to make and had on hand all the ingredients. I hope others realize the difference between balsamic vinaigerette and balsamic vinegar;it doesn't seem like it based on the other reviews I read.

I substituted diced pepperoni slices for the bacon and just fried it a little. What an excellent, fresh Italian taste. I will definitely make it again.

I've reviewed this recipe before but decided that it warranted another 5-star review. This is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. The only thing I ever change is to add more Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing because it just adds so much flavor to the pasta. I noticed some of the reviews saying that they will cut back the vinegar - I just want to point out that the recipe calls for salad dressing, not straight up vinegar. This is an OUTSTANDING recipe for lunch or dinner! I highly recommend it!!

This was very good. I did add some fresh basil. I added some thin sliced ham and a bit less bacon. Makes a nice colorful presentation. Will make again.
