i have a similiar recipe, straight from our old neighbors in Italy. Their Mom was 100% Italian. I had to convert the measurements even. Yum!!
I also added red and geen peppers to this recipe. Just so easy and delish
I use chopped pepperoni instead of bacon in this recipe…super easy & delicious!!!
Sorry, I should explain that I drain the pasta, then use the same pot to mix all the ingredients in, hence, the super easy & one pot!
Amy this recipe is just terrific!!! Easy and soooo good.
