Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
- In a spacious skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula—around 7-8 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
- Add the cooked and crumbled bacon to the beef, stirring well.
- Stir in minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring thoroughly. Allow it to bubble gently for about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan, stirring until melted.
- Add the cooked fettuccine directly into the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Can be made ahead; store pasta and sauce separately. Great with a side salad or garlic bread.
