Spaghetti with Bacon
As children, my sisters and brothers and I always requested this delicious dish for our birthday dinners. Our mother got the recipe from her grandmother, who prepared it when my mother was a child nearly 90 years ago. I've continued the tasty tradition with my own children.4-6 ServingsPrep: 15 min.
