Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- Cook pasta al-dente.
- Just before you drain pasta, reserve a mug of pasta cooking water to be used in sauce to adjust it’s consistency as it thickens.
- Cut bacon into chunks so you get more dripping out of it.
- Sear chicken in bacon drippings. It adds lots of flavor.
- Get block cheese and grate it fresh. Freshly grated cheese is so much better than pre-grated cheese bought from store which has fillers in it. Make sure to use fine grater for the cheese, otherwise it won’t melt properly and make silky smooth sauce.
