I’ve been having a “thing” lately for cherry tomatoes. Orange cherry tomatoes! And I like to throw in a few red ones to remind me how dang pretty these juicy little globes are. And then, if you roast them or caramelize them,
Sheer Bliss!
So when I saw Kathleen, pull this one out of her hat, I was all over it! I mean, come on,
BACON, cherry tomatoes, and pasta, you know it’s gonna be good.
Oh yea, and throw a little heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese in there, and your taste buds will be singing!
I like to believe that the spinach in it makes it a healthy dish!!! 
Can I just say that this was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten?
I cant wait to make it again. Seriously delicious!
Thank you Kathleen, you rock! Your recipes rock and so does your blog!
I owe ya for this one!

Well, with all that bacon – of course it’s grand. And then you do a little Alfredo twist with the cream and the dish is elevated to new caloric and tasty heights!
Great pasta dish! Love the color!
Orange cherry tomatoes have been my favorite this summer, as well. I read somewhere that they’re called “sun gold tomatoes”, but either way, they are like candy! This pasta idea is pure genius; I want some for breakfast!
Yum!!!! That’s all I can say!
OMGosh that looks so delicious! That would be a favorite dish here. Those gorgeous little orange tomatoes are eye candy. Beautiful and tasty dish!
OMG that pasta looks amazing. I could fit inside that giant bowl, really I could. The problem is I might not ever leave if I did. BLT pasta is just genius!
Love this idea!!!
Mmm, this sounds addicting! Such a great idea.
Oh, my . . oh my . . . oh MY! GREAT idea!!! And beautiful and colorful, too! Primo!
