This is the worst pasta dish I've ever had. The bacon was undercooked and the cheese sauce was too thick.

This recipe is missing some important ingredients. It doesn't call for any salt or pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasta turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and pepper, and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The bacon and cheese sauce were amazing.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor, and the peas added a pop of sweetness. The bowtie pasta cooked perfectly al dente.
