When we were kids my mom used to make a yummy dinner with penne pasta, bacon, canned tomatoes and velveeta cheese. I have always wanted to recreate this dish, but without all the labor. One day I discovered Classico's brand "Sun Dried Tomato Alfredo" sauce. I decided to give that a try. Crumble in just a few slices of cooked bacon and mix with prepared penne pasta. It's almost exactly the taste that I remember having as a kid. And mine is so much easier than mom's version when she had to cut up her own cheese. I watch for Classico to go on sale and then I stock up!! Mmmm... Things go better with bacon!
