Yummy Chicken Carbonara

PASTA!!! Who doesn't love pasta dishes...especially easy peasy pasta dishes? Exactly...no one. While it is very easy to make homemade alfredo sauce I will save that for another recipe and teach you how to make this one using store bought ingredients!
This meal take no time to make yet taste like you have slaved for hours! It also feeds a lot of people so you can either opt to have left overs or even make this for a dinner party! Add a salad and garlic bread and wha laa super yummy dinner!

Yummy Chicken Carbonara

You will need:
  • 1 box fettuccine
  • 1 bag frozen peas
  • 1 jar store bought alfredo sauce
  • 8 pieces of bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 TBS butter
Directions:
  1. In a large pot, cook pasta as directed
  2. In a medium saucepan, on medium heat, put in butter and pieces of bacon. Fry until cooked through but not horribly crispy! Push around pan to keep pieces separate.
  3. When bacon is almost cooked, add in 1/2 the bag of frozen peas
  4. Once they are cooked through about 6-8 minutes, add alfredo sauce and stir. Let warm through.
  5. Drain pasta once it's complete and put back into the pot you cooked it in.
  6. Once sauce is warmed through add to pasta and toss enough to make sure all pasta is covered!
  7. Serve warm
**I also like to add 1/2 a diced onion to mine and about 4 oz of cut up mushrooms. IF you choose to add either of these you would add them in before you add in the peas and add in 1 extra TBS of butter. Cook for about 2 minutes and then add the peas and cook as directed above!
