Bacon & Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo

This Bacon & Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo is a creamy and delicious meal that’s ready in just 30 minutes!

Somewhere in the chaos of the holidays, this AMAZING dish got lost in the mix! I’m a bit of a sucker for fettuccine alfredo, it’s just so comforting and delicious. We make it a lot and I finally photographed it for the blog back in September. Yeah, four months ago!!! Like I said, lost in the mix, but that doesn’t mean I think any less of it, quite the opposite actually!

This dish is one of my favorite dinner recipes and one of the few that I actually make on my own that doesn’t include baking or a slow cooker and actually uses more than one pot to make. Plus it’s so freakin’ delicious I’m a firm believer it should be on everyone’s weekly menu! I mean, bacon, broccoli, cheese, pasta… hello! What’s there to think about it, you know it’s going to be awesome!

I love how quickly it comes together too, less than 30 minutes until you’re scarfing down a bowl of fettucine that’s been tossed in an amazing cheese sauce with broccoi, crispy bacon, and fresh parsley.
