Bacon and brie combine to make an easy pasta sauce for this easy fettuccine dinner. This Bacon and Brie Fettuccine is filled with flavor!
Bacon and pasta go hand in hand. After you’ve tried this recipe, try this Alfredo Pasta with Bacon.
I usually use the nights that my husband works swing shifts to eat leftovers or something light I can find around the house. I have a hard time cooking for just one – too much effort and too much to clean up. I like to take the time to get other things done around the house that have been neglected.
But Friday was a different story. All day at work, I just kept thinking about how much I was just in the mood to go home and cook. I looked through my bookmarked recipes, and decided to make this Bacon and Brie Fettuccine from Cooking with Amy along with some Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips. Both were a huge success!!
I stopped at the grocery store on my way home to pick up a few ingredients, and they happened to be sampling some herb and garlic brie. I thought it would be wonderful in this recipe, so I picked some of it up. I was right. The brie was wonderful – I kept sneaking tastes before it even made it into the pasta. I loved it with that flavored brie, but I have also now made it with regular brie and it is still delicious.
I have to say, I just might have a new favorite meal. Not only was this super easy, but absolutely delicious. I cleaned my plate. The only thing that would have made it better was nice piece of garlic bread on the side.
It would be fun to play with this recipe with different flavored cheeses – but this recipe will go in my book of make again dishes.
You really can’t go wrong when you combine bacon, pasta and cheese!

Both look so good, especially the cookies. No wait, the pasta. No the cookies! Just give me both!!

Ohh man both look excellent! I’d really like to try them both – but I’d like to try the linguine with some of Bril’s home made bacon. *swoon*

I’m so glad that you made them and enjoyed them! They’re addictive though, you’ll find yourself craving them at the most random times.
