Southwestern Penne
 
  Adapted from More Than Gourmet
 
Pasta hot or cold seems to be an American favorite anytime of year. This penne pasta dish can be made vegetarian style without the bacon or for those that like a little meatier flavor, add the bacon. Either way this dish is a winner as a main course or as a side dish.
