Fusilli with Bacon

I found this on recipezaar and when I saw it I knew with how busy I have been lately I had to try it as it was such a quick no fuss recipe. I did change it slightly just to suit our tastes and I have listed the changes below. This is definitely a great after work fast dinner with great flavoursome results.
