I love Pasta, always have. But I can't say I am really good at it. I usually end up making the same thing over and over. Which is good...but just not thrilling. Here is a recipe even I can make. It is interesting and could be added to or subtracted from in many different ways. But this is the basic alfredo type starter recipe. And the idea of including bacon is intriguing. I think you'll like it.
