BACON AND MUSHROOM PENNE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
This is a recipe that I found online. I have modified this recipe slightly by adding bacon, mushroom and sunflower seed. It works equaly well with chorizo instead of bacon. Sunflower seed is optional, it gives a bit of texture to the dish.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked, the bacon was burnt, and the pesto was bland. I will never make this dish again.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of pesto, but this recipe changed my mind. The sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sweetness that balanced out the bitterness of the arugula. And the bacon and mushrooms were cooked perfectly.
