Recipe Story

We learned this recipe down in Australia. It was shown to us by our two cop friends down under, who didn't know they could cook. One day we were out playing golf and got back tired and hungry. They said "we'll whip you up a pasta, you'll love it", and we did!

Notes

You can add all your ingredients to taste. If you prefer less/more feta, avacado, or basil, add it to your liking. To keep the the avacado from turning brown, sprinkle with lemon juice. In our video, we cooked the bacon in the tomato sauce, instead of in a separate pan which results in a softer bacon.
