  1. This is a gorgous recipe! I did add an onion and a few cloves of garlic when cooking the bacon which made it devine. I made a double batch last night and there is nothing left this morning :)
     
  2. Delicious, simple, and perfect if you want a light, yummy, and refreshing dinner! Will definitely be making this again!
     
  3. We loved this. I toasted my pine nuts in the oven, as opposed to in the skillet. Also I used a little more bacon and pine nuts than called for. The lemon in this is great! This was a delicious dinner that went well with Garlic Texas Toast and sweet corn. Thanks for posting this, it's excellent.
     
  4. Excellent! This is so easy to make. Great w/ salad and crusty bread.
