It’s been a while!
I’ve been very busy for the last few weeks. I’m about to have my very last finals week of university and then I will be graduating! Off into the real world for me. Job hunting, bills, being a Real Person. It’s quite scary, don’t you think?
But anyway, I’ve finally had some time to try a new recipe. I stumbled this one a while back and it looked super tasty. Plus it was two recipes on one page!
It was very tasty, though it didn’t turn out EXACTLY like the pictures on the website. I think this is because the recipe was VERY inexact and was missing a reasonable amount of helpful info. But no matter!

Look! I took my own pictures! Helllllz yes. This was definitely a good dinner. The cheesy bread was amazing, and the red pepper flakes gave it a great little unexpected kick. The sauce on the noodles was a liiiittle clumpy but it still tasted fine. Perhaps it’s because I used half & half instead of cream, but I had it on hand and the recipe said that was fine.
Suggestions / Changes
There are a lot of things missing from this recipe. For example, none of the amounts or cooking information was there for the cheesy bread. I used a whole french bread from publix, a stick of butter, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, a metric ton of garlic, a whole big ball of mozzarella and red pepper flakes. I baked it at 350 for about 10 minutes. Just keep a good watch on it and take it out when the cheese is all melty and the bread gets crispy.
Also, when making the pasta, I used 1 cup chopped parsley. I cut most of the fat from the bacon in an attempt to make it a little healthier, but then added in 1.5 tablespoons of butter because some fat was necessary.
Everyone I fed with this said they thought it was delicious!
