This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the mushrooms and bacon add a nice savory touch. I served it with a side of garlic bread and it was the perfect meal.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

Meh. The sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked.
