so i decided that i would meld my favorite aspects of my creamy campanelle & PW's pasta with pancetta & leeks for dinner tonight and this may be my go-to way to make it from now on. i mostly followed PW's recipe but used a peppered bacon (just one slice) instead of pancetta, added chicken sausage once the bacon was rendered, extra cream and parm reggiano. using just a bit of bacon gave just the right amount of kick, more would have been too spicy to be enjoyable.

ww gals: i used fat free half & half and skipped the butter so this came out to 14 points/serving (which at 2 cups is a nice, big bowl of pasta)
