Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

Some cooks prefer to drain the pasta well to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce, while others like a little moisture to help prevent pasta from sticking together. In any case, reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water to add to pasta if it starts to stick together or if you want to dilute the sauce.

This was very easy to make. We threw the bacon in the microwave to make it easier. It tasted really good heated up the next day also. I did partially drain the diced tomatoes because we didn't want the consistency to be too thin. That was a good choice because it tasted just right.

sauce was fantastic but a bit on the watery side- may reduce the amt. of water next time we make it. First home-cooked meal as husband and wife and were very pleased with it- will have plenty of left overs!

Very, very good! I left out the bacon and my husband thought it was very, very good. Will definitely add to the rotation.

Very tasty! Had a restaurant-like tomato cream sauce. We use whole wheat pasta with it to try to be a little more healthy.

My family LOVED this. I seasoned the chicken well with garlic, salt, and pepper before cooking. The bacon adds a GREAT smoky flavor. Definite keeper.

Very good. I altered the recipe a bit though and added fresh chopped tomatoes. I also used the bacon bits that are for salads - the real bits not the artificial. I also used my own home canned tomatoes that had onions and bell pepper added at the time of canning.
