New Pasta Dish

[Guest guest]

I made this the other night. I diced up some veggie bacon and used it sort of

like pancetta or something like that, in a pasta dish. It came out pretty good.

Even DH thought it was ok. It gave a nice smokey flavor to the dish and I didn't

have to use the real thing (which I can't find anywhere in my area anyway).
