This Chicken and Bacon Alfredo is an easy restaurant-style pasta filled with chicken, bacon, and Parmesan cheese you can make at home!
Hello Mandy’s Recipe Box readers!! It’s Jaren from Diary of a Recipe Collector! I’ve been in such a pasta mood lately and I’d love to share a simple pasta dish I cooked up the other day. One of the stars of this dish is bacon, and everything is better with bacon! You agree? In fact, it starts the whole dish out, and that wonderful bacon flavor is carried throughout the dish.
I chose to use angel hair pasta because I love it so much, but feel free to use your favorite pasta…fettuccine or even bow tie pasta would be great too!
You can also add in other ingredients to bump up the flavor even more. Sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, or green peppers would be great! That’s one of the things I love about making pastas. You can use what you have and not have to visit the grocery store. That is pretty much my motto these days. Grocery store + 4 kids = No fun for Mom!
So I hope you enjoy this dish, and thanks for allowing me to share with you today!
