ALFREDO SAUCE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. Add the flour to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is incorporated. While stirring, slowly add the half and half. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently until the sauce thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Add the parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the bacon and parsley. Serve immediately over your favorite cooked pasta.

ROASTED GARLIC & BACON ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook linguine until just barely tender, then drain, rinse, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add cream cheese to the melted butter (this is to help thicken the sauce, if you omit it you'll have to spend more time simmering the sauce to thicken it) and stir until melted.
• Slowly stir in the heavy cream then add remaining ingredients while continuing to stir until well blended.
• The longer you stir and simmer, the thicker the sauce will become; the preference is yours.
• Toss sauce with the linguine, sprinkle parsley over the top and serve warm.
• If you don't know how to roast garlic I'm sure you'll find an excellent recipe here on Zarr; for a 'meaty' meal, try adding cooked shrimp, chicken, crab, or mushrooms.

THIS GARLIC BACON ALFREDO SAUCE IS SO GOOD, IT MAY HAVE CAUSED MY ENGAGEMENT - JUST SAYIN'

Steps:

• Set your oven to 400°F.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (foil also works). Place 7 strips of bacon on the parchment on the left side of the pan, and add diced onions to the right side of the pan.
• Place in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes. (Make sure to watch your onions and stir as needed. If the bacon completes cooking first, remove it from pan with tongs and drain it on a paper towel while the onions finish up. The onions should be lightly brown to optimize sweetness.)
• Cook both until done, then drain them on a paper towel when complete.
• When cool enough to handle, tear the bacon into pieces. Set it aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt as a rolling boil begins. Add the pasta when the water is boiling vigorously.
• Cook in accordance with package directions.
• Drain the pasta when al dente.
• In a metal saucepan, begin melting the butter over medium-low heat.
• After the butter has melted, add in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to come together in a soft bubbling boil.
• Add in the cheeses. Stir until everything is melted and combined.
• Add in the pepper, garlic, and nutmeg. Keep it on medium-low heat.
• The sauce will thicken. Continue to cook until the pasta is complete.
• Pour the cream sauce over the cooked and drained pasta. Combine.
• Add in the onions and bacon. Stir.
• Taste and add salt as needed. Bacon is naturally salty, so the amount of salt you need is a personal choice. Reserving it for the end is best.
• Let the pasta rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
