Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 4 ounces turkey bacon chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine, shredded chicken, turkey bacon, and garlic. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the pasta and gently toss everything together until well coated.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Remove the pasta from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for color and added freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Colander
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the pasta initially; it will finish cooking in the oven and absorb the sauce better.
  • Whisk the eggs and cream mixture thoroughly to prevent scrambling when baked.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • For a crispy top, sprinkle extra Parmesan or breadcrumbs before baking.
  • Let the dish rest 5-10 minutes after baking to thicken the sauce.
