Fusilli Bucati with Tomato and Pancetta

Since we are moving back to Canada next week, I've been trying to come up with meals that either use up what we already have, or need food items that I can use in other meals. I choose this recipe because it was simple and quick and because I needed to buy some slab bacon for another recipe (which will be coming here in a few days). I browsed through my Nintendo DS game 'Personal Trainer: Cooking' to get some ideas for a meal, and this dish is the result. I just came across the blog Presto Pasta Nights, which hosts a weekly blog roundup of pasta dishes (I really can't wait to try some of these recipes!). Presto Pasta Nights are also held by guest bloggers and this weeks guest blogger is Chaya from Comfy Cook. 
EDIT: Chaya had computer problems so the round up will be at Presto Pasta Night by Ruth.

I'll be submiting this post Presto Pasta Nights, so go check out the roundup at Comfy Cook's blog on Friday :)
