“I am writing this as I sit on the couch while my family and I enjoy this fabulous pasta!!! I doubled the bacon (my kids lOVE bacon) it was perfect. I was nervous to add the egg bcuz i was worried i’d somehow mess this is up. I literally had enough to make this” — a cook, 5★
“Hi Samantha, thank you for your comment. I’m sorry it tasted bland, I’m glad you thought to use garlic powder and onion powder. Did you add pepper flakes? Those always give a punch of flavor for me, and the bacon drippings usually add tons of flavor!” — a cook
