BACON AND VEGETABLE PASTA BAKE



Bacon and Vegetable Pasta Bake image

Easy pasta bake that I often fall back on when I want dinner ready quickly. When in a rush after work I microwave the vegetables to soften but if you have time I think that the end result is better if you sauté them. Sometimes I'll add some Italian Herbs to this. But its really just a lazy dinner.
