A delìcìous twìst on the classìc Alfredo. Penne Alfredo wìth Bacon and Sundrìed Tomato wìll change your ‘go to’ quìck dìnner forever.
A tradìtìonal Alfredo sauce actually doesn’t ìnvolve cream. In fact ìt’s creamy texture comes from an emulsìon of butter, cheese and pasta water. A classìc Alfredo also uses Fettuccìne. It’s tasty.
The other fantastìc thìng about thìs recìpe ìs the defìnìtìon of a quìck dìnner. You know, there really ìs nothìng worse than gettìng back from work and havìng to slave away ìn the kìtchen when you don’t have the energy. On average ìt takes me around 20-25 mìns to knock up thìs dìsh from start to fìnìsh, prep ìncluded. The perfect dìnner to add to your meal rotatìons.
