This full-flavored recipe is the result of my mom's love of pasta and our love of cooking together. With a bit of pepper heat and smoky bacon, the entree is excellent alone or paired with grilled chicken. —Lacy Jo Matheson, Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan

I used a whole package of bacon, slightly less balsamic vinegar than it called for, and 2 cans of drained diced tomatoes instead of the grape tomatoes. My whole family really, really enjoyed this.

My husband and I really liked it .I used what I had on hand almost a whole pkg of Turkey bacon garlic salt and I added the tomatoes at the end and didn't heat it more and put the cheese on after i dished it up .and just used extra olive oil no butter

Yummy!! I love the balsamic in this recipe, gives it that different twist. And the onions really lend a sweet flavor. I did mix in some fresh baby spinach and that worked well.

Both hubby and I enjoyed it. Will definitelymake again but will cut back on the amount of pasta. The flavor of the tomatoes, bacon, onion, garlic and vinegar were great! Nice simple and inexpensive meal for a change! Thanks for creating a keeper!

Using a whole package of pasta leaves it a bit on the dry side. It also makes to too difficult to really incorporate the onions so that you get the nice flavor of the caramelized onions. I would only use a half-package of pasta next time, or just double the rest of the ingredients. Otherwise, this is a very tasty dish and very easy to make.

It was wonderful... I enjoyed the tomatoes and the simple pasta flavor with wonderful caramelized onions... I was not able to use fresh basil and used dried basil...might would have been better if I had used fresh leaves. My husband said it needed more tomato sauce... I disagree...
