Ham and Swiss Capellini With Mushrooms

I got this cookbook for Christmas and have been enjoying trying new recipes. I wasn't crazy about this dish, but Jud really liked it.  Left-overs were even better.  What I really liked about it is that dinner was ready from start to finish in about 20 minutes.

6 ounces whole wheat angel hair pasta
2 slices center cut bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
