Bacon Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Bacon Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Bacon Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is one of many recipes that I found in one of my many Taste of Home Cookbooks. The combination of chicken, bacon, chopped spinach, fettuccine and Alfredo sauce is perfect. Personally, my favorite part of this dish are the leftovers. Why? The fettuccine has time to soak up some of the Alfredo sauce and everything comes together with delicious results. I’m getting hungry!!

Alfredo Sauce
What is Alfredo Sauce exactly? Created in the early 1920’s by a Roman restaurateur, Alfredo di Lello. Alfredo sauce was created and named after the famous dish Fettuccine Alfredo. Classic alfredo sauce is made with heavy cream, butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. This classic sauce was created for pasta but it’s now used to top everything from chicken to pizza to vegetables.
