ALFREDO SAUCE CARBONARA RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Prepare tofu noodles (or regular noodles) according to package directions.
• Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and garlic, saute for 2 minutes.
• Add diced chicken breast, seasoning lightly with pepper. Saute about 5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms. Saute about 3 minutes.
• Add peas and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and mushrooms are softened.
• Add noodles and sauce. Stir and cook until heated through.
• Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
