Cilantro Goat Cheese Pasta

PointsPlus: 8 servings @ 11 points each (Recipe Doubled)
Drew Rating: 2/5
Sara Rating: 3/5

Modifications: Doubled the recipe, added 4 slices of bacon

Notes: First things first, this dish needs bacon! It is suggested in the blog post and I highly recommend it. It would taste pretty flat without it. That being said, even with bacon, this dish does not make a very good meal. It gets old and boring pretty quick. As a side dish to some lemony chicken or fish, I think it would go great. This just doesn't really have that much flavor on it's own. Would I make it again? Yes as a side and not doubled. Never as a main dish. Also, leftovers where barely edible, to me. Sara fared a little better with the leftovers but I thought the pasta was hard and the cheese left a nasty pool of grease behind which wasn't there when it was fresh.

Sara’s Comments: Sounded better than it was. Without the bacon I think it would have been just a two. I love goat cheese and I love pasta but this dish just didn’t cut it. Also did not reheat well for leftovers.
