I added a handful of jalapeños to the sauce before blending it, just to add a kick. Awesome recipe though, glad I’ve made too much.

SALT!!! Really good just needs salt. Also needs more bacon than what the recipe calls for.

I salted the water for the noodles (about 2 teaspoons worth) and that brought enough needed salt into the recipe. This recipe also makes enough sauce for a 12 oz pack of pasta with a large avocado.
