I am SO impressed with this recipe. I made it in a flash and it was gone even faster. Restaurant quality flavor and texture. My changes were just slight and because I had the stuff lying around, but I used fresh crimini mushrooms instead of canned and added some fresh chopped spinach. It was AMAZING. This one slid into the "favorites" folder within an hour. Thanks to the originator for making my day!!!

My fiancé and I make this recipe all the time! We like to add cubed chicken. I usually cook the chicken in the same pan as the bacon (after I drain the drippings) so it picks up some of the delicious bacon flavor. I also like to use farfalle pasta instead of mostaccioli.

Loved this recipe. My daughter is a Pasta Carbonara fan and she even thought it was great. We added spinach to it and it was even better.

Amazingly delicious! We did double the sauce except for the bacon and mushrooms. I also used fresh mushrooms, and an extra cup of pasta. Yummy!
