This was pretty good. The kids wouldn't touch it, so we won't be making it again, but the adults didn't mind it. It was very thick and filling. The sauce was maybe little too thick, as it was actually a bit hard to pick up the pasta without them all sticking together. Maybe I should have made more pasta with it so the sauce was spread out through the pasta more. In addition to the original recipe, I also made a vegetarian version by replacing the bacon with mushrooms.
