"I had a rich pasta dish similar to this at a restaurant," recalls Dana Simmons of Lancaster, Ohio. " It was so unique that i tried to duplicate it at home a few days later. This is remarkably close, but not as fussy because it uses ready-made ingredients rather than being made from scratch."

CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH CRISPY BACON (PAULA DEEN)



Chicken Alfredo With Crispy Bacon (Paula Deen) image

A recipe that I thought sounded delicious from Paula Deen's Comfort Food Magazine. Posting for safe keeping. Update 10/17/2013: Made this for DH and myself, so I made 1/3 of the recipe, but still made 2 pieces of bacon (will even make more next time) and I added some additional heavy cream as we like it creamy. We loved the addition of the bacon, onion and garlic to the normal Chicken Alfredo, DH even went back for seconds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. Use fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese, and thick-cut bacon.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the pasta. Cook it until it is golden brown and slightly charred.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: If you are not making your own Alfredo sauce, use a high-quality store-bought sauce. Look for a sauce that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy.
  • Add the Alfredo sauce and bacon to the pasta immediately after it is cooked: This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Garnish the pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and parsley: This will add a finishing touch of flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

Alfredo pasta with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
