Notes
- Note 1 This is a flexible recipe which will work with your favourite pasta! I used curly pasta for this recipe.
- Note 2 You can use homemade pesto, store bought jarred pesto (pasta section of store) or dip pesto (cold section, with the dips), each will work perfectly and there is no right or wrong.
- Note 3 You can purchase bacon rashers and dice or you can use diced bacon. If you want to save time, I recommend diced bacon.
