• Add the cream and bring to a boil.
• Once the cream is boiling, add the fettuccine. Return the shrimp and bacon to the pan, along with the Parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce coats the shrimp and pasta nicely.

ALFREDO PASTA WITH BACON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve a mug full (about 1 cup) of the pasta water then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot.
• While the pasta is cooking, cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Add the butter to the bacon grease in the skillet and cook until the butter is melted. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two.
• Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and the cream. Cook for a few minutes, until the sauce has started to thicken up. Add in the Parmesan and stir until melted.
• Pour the Alfredo sauce and the reserved bacon over the pasta in the pot. Stir to coat. If needed, add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen up the sauce.
• Serve topped with chopped parsley, if desired.

ROASTED GARLIC & BACON ALFREDO SAUCE

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.
