Instructions for A Penne for Your Thoughts

**I found the red peppers overpowered the other flavours so the next time I made it I didnt use any and my family liked it better. Pour 1 cup boiling water over sun-dried tomatoes and let soak for 5 mins. Drain and chop. Set aside. Place mushrooms in a bowl with 1/4 cup water. Microwave on high power for 5 mins. Drain and set aside. Cook penne according to package directions, Drain and keep warm. Cook bacon in a large skillet over med-high heat until crisp. Add garlic and cook 1 min. Do not discard drippings. Add onions, spinach, sundried tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, basil, and red pepper if using. Cook and stir for 4-5 mins, until onions are tender. Toss bacon/vegetable mixture with hot pasta. Sprinkle with chhese and parsley. Serve immediately.
