Skillet Bacon Alfredo-Bacon, rigatoni, heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, and peas all cooked together in only one skillet.
Happy December 1st! I decided that before I start flooding your screen with Christmas treats you need this Skillet Bacon Alfredo in your life. This quick and easy weeknight supper is perfect for the busy season that this time of year brings.
This dish is all made in one skillet and it does not take long to prepare. It also taste really, really good! Plus. it has bacon. Win, win all around!
This skillet bacon alfredo is great served with a side salad or french bread. It even comes together quick enough to serve for lunch. I loved using rigatoni pasta for this. The sauce is not very heavy so the smaller size pasta works perfectly with this recipe. I love one skillet recipes because of the easy cleanup. One skillet to wash...YES! Sign me up!
Here's the recipe!! ENJOY!
