Alfredo sauce is a popular Italian sauce made with butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese and pepper. While the classic Alfredo sauce is delicious on its own, adding bacon can take it to the next level. The smoky, salty flavor of bacon perfectly complements the richness of the Alfredo sauce, creating a dish that is both indulgent and savory. Whether you're serving it over pasta, chicken, or vegetables, Alfredo sauce with bacon is sure to be a hit.

BACON CHICKEN ALFREDO
"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."

Steps:
- Set your oven to 400°F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (foil also works). Place 7 strips of bacon on the parchment on the left side of the pan, and add diced onions to the right side of the pan.
- Place in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes. (Make sure to watch your onions and stir as needed. If the bacon completes cooking first, remove it from pan with tongs and drain it on a paper towel while the onions finish up. The onions should be lightly brown to optimize sweetness.)
- Cook both until done, then drain them on a paper towel when complete.
- When cool enough to handle, tear the bacon into pieces. Set it aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt as a rolling boil begins. Add the pasta when the water is boiling vigorously.
- Cook in accordance with package directions.
- Drain the pasta when al dente.
- In a metal saucepan, begin melting the butter over medium-low heat.
- After the butter has melted, add in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to come together in a soft bubbling boil.
- Add in the cheeses. Stir until everything is melted and combined.
- Add in the pepper, garlic, and nutmeg. Keep it on medium-low heat.
- The sauce will thicken. Continue to cook until the pasta is complete.
- Pour the cream sauce over the cooked and drained pasta. Combine.
- Add in the onions and bacon. Stir.
- Taste and add salt as needed. Bacon is naturally salty, so the amount of salt you need is a personal choice. Reserving it for the end is best.
- Let the pasta rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook linguine until just barely tender, then drain, rinse, and set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add cream cheese to the melted butter (this is to help thicken the sauce, if you omit it you'll have to spend more time simmering the sauce to thicken it) and stir until melted.
- Slowly stir in the heavy cream then add remaining ingredients while continuing to stir until well blended.
- The longer you stir and simmer, the thicker the sauce will become; the preference is yours.
- Toss sauce with the linguine, sprinkle parsley over the top and serve warm.
- If you don't know how to roast garlic I'm sure you'll find an excellent recipe here on Zarr; for a 'meaty' meal, try adding cooked shrimp, chicken, crab, or mushrooms.

Tips:
- Select Fresh Ingredients: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and thick-cut bacon add a depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Don't Overcook the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it's crispy but not burnt. Overcooked bacon will make the sauce bitter.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the sauce from burning.
- Cook the Sauce Over Low Heat: Simmer the sauce over low heat for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add the Cream Slowly: Gradually whisk in the cream to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season to Taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. Freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of garlic powder can enhance the flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
With its rich, creamy texture and smoky bacon flavor, this Alfredo sauce is a versatile and delicious addition to any pasta dish. Whether you're serving it over fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti, this sauce is sure to be a hit. So next time you're craving a creamy pasta dish, give this bacon Alfredo sauce a try!
