"Friends are the bacon bits in the salad bowl of life" ~ Homer Simpson
Good pork + Good fat = Extremely Good for the heart BACON. Whenever I eat bacon, my heart smiles like a young lady who fell in love for the first time... the satisfaction I get when I eat this good stuff is undoubtedly priceless! So when my hubby requested for a pasta dish, I gladly welcome the thought of having bacon in my dish. And what goes well with bacon? Yes, butter and cheese, so I decided to make a Linguine Alfredo. By the way, did you know the difference between alfredo and carbonara sauce? Alfredo sauce is made with butter, cheese and cream while carbonara sauce is made with eggs, cheese and black pepper. That's why carbonara has an egg yolky taste. This dish is very versatile, you can use shrimp, ground meat, chicken, OR you can use NO-meat at all. I used double smoked bacon for added flavor and also added mushrooms and a moderate crumbs of blue cheese for toppings.
