This was a really nice pasta dish! Very flavourful! I just didn't get the breadcrumbs... Because there didn't seem to be enough sauce for the amount of pasta called for, I didn't want to add the breadcrumbs & make it even drier. So, I just served on the side.

Thanks for a great dinner Jules. I added a red chilli and a teaspoon of Italian herbs to the sauce, I'd also add chopped flat-leaf parsley to the crumb mix next time. I used all the tomatoes, but half the bacon for two of us-the crumbs still soaked up all the sauce but it was good.

This was delicious! I knew I would love this as soon as I saw this recipe. I love pasta and tomatoes and bread mixed together! I added some black olives and capers to the sauce. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for a new favorite pasta recipe!
