This is a recipe I came up with when I had to either cook up a 3-pound package of lean thick-cut bacon or throw it out (which was NOT going to happen). I happened to have everything else on hand anyway. I've already had friends try this, and they loved it. I hope you do, too!

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package thick-cut bacon
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup grated Parmesan-Romano cheese blend
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese blend
3 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Chop into small pieces when cool enough to handle.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large, deep skillet over low heat. Add chopped bacon, garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper; saute until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium, add chicken, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add whipping cream, Parmesan-Romano cheese, and remaining 2 teaspoons pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add Colby Jack cheese and stir until melted. Stir in beaten eggs and bring to a simmer. Add drained pasta, stir until coated with sauce, and serve immediately.

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pack spaghetti
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, halved
77g pack pancetta
1 chicken breast, cut into strips
2 eggs
100g Grana Padano, finely grated, plus extra to serve (wrap the rest tightly and it will keep for several weeks)
1 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the garlic and pancetta until crisp, then add the chicken strips and fry briefly until they're just cooked through. Fish out the garlic clove and discard it. Beat the eggs with the grana padano and some black pepper.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water to the pancetta pan along with the butter, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Pour in the egg mixture, take the pan off the heat and toss together so the egg cooks in the heat of the pasta. Divide between four warm bowls and top with more cheese, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the chicken and sauce. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
  • Add the cheese to the sauce slowly, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
