A great pasta recipe is a must have for a busy night, luckily this Bacon and Tomato Rotini is just the thing! You can have it on the table in less than a half hour and it will make everyone happy with it’s mix of cheese, garlic, bacon and tomatoes! I used the rotini for this since the rolls helped the olive oil and garlic mix to really stick to the pasta and hold onto the flavor. This is a must try for any night of the week!
