"I usually make this for New Years Eve. It is rich and delicious and uses both bacon and pancetta. There is also a hint of cinnamon that gives it an extra good tase. I always make this using fresh pasta, I guess you can use dried but it won't be as velvety."

I was just about drooling when I saw this posted and had to make it. I made it for me and my husband so I cut the recipe down. You are right, it is rich but who cares when something tastes so good! We loved it and we look forward to it again on one of our date nights when we do the cooking together.
