This recipe is nothing short of delicious without the crazy guilt of eating a savory pasta dish! Most of the flavor comes from the Balsamic Vinegar, which adds such a kick to the sauce. Balsamic Vinegar has many health benefits coming from its high potency of antimicrobial compounds, acetic acid, and antioxidants. Because of these three components, Balsamic Vinegar actually helps with clearing up blemishes and promotes healthy vibrant skin. If you are feeling sick with a head cold, it actually also helps with clearing congestion. Nutrition wise, vinegars of any sort all help to reduce cholesterol, reduce hypertension and promote healthy digestion!Pin the image below to save this Creamy Balsamic Bacon Pasta recipe for later!
