FETTUCCINE ALFREDO CARBONARA



Fettuccine Alfredo Carbonara image

This is a home concoction we refer to as "Death on a Noodle". It is very heavy, but also filling and absolutely delicious. This can be a meal of its own, or a side dish for many people. There are some good stir-ins, such as sliced cooked chicken breast or fresh snow peas, that can be added in the last 5 minutes of simmering. It is important to use a wide, shallow pan because it will help the cream cook down and thicken. If you need to use a deeper saucepan, increase the cooking time in the step to simmer the cream.

Time 45m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb bacon
1 pint heavy cream
crushed red pepper flakes
fresh ground black pepper
fresh ground white pepper
parmesan cheese or romano cheese
2/3 lb fettuccine (can use Fettuccine Rigate, Spaghetti, Penne...)
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Heat a 10-inch skillet (at least 2 inches deep) over medium heat.
  • Slice the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the bacon in the skillet.
  • While the bacon is frying, heat the cream (but not to a boil.) This can be done either in the microwave or on the stove top.
  • Once the bacon is crisp, drain off all but 1-2 tbsp of the grease from the pan.
  • Pour the cream over the bacon.
  • Add a few grinds each of black and white pepper, and some crushed red pepper. A quick sprinkle of red pepper will add some flavor -- for a little more spice, use 1-2 teaspoons.
  • Bring the cream to a simmer, and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the cream sauce is simmering, boil water and prepare the pasta according to the package directions.
  • When the pasta is done and drained, toss with the tablespoon of butter.
  • Once the butter has melted, pour the cream sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO CHICKEN CARBONARA

This sortof came from a Ragu jar...modified a bit. I use the Shirataki tofu noodles, but you can certainly use regular noodles here. This makes a nice filling dinner, served with a salad and garlic toast.
