Penne Alfredo with Bacon and Sundried Tomato

Sometimes your belly just cálls for the simple things in life. The simply gorgeously, creámy ánd flávoursome things thát is. Pástá álfredo is one of those dishes thát you won’t see being máde the sáme wáy twice; án ámbássádor of váriátion if you will. For me? I like á Penne with some very ‘non clássic’ ádditions. Itáliáns, forgive me.

People áre álwáys so surprised when I show them the recipe for this becáuse it reálly does táste like so much more effort hás gone into it thán áctuálly hás. This recipe is SO simple ánd requires such little ingredients; which is quite hárd to believe áfter how beáutiful it tástes. So smooth ánd silky, yet tángy ánd bursting with flávour.

The other fántástic thing ábout this recipe is the definition of á quick dinner. You know, there reálly is nothing worse thán getting báck from work ánd háving to sláve áwáy in the kitchen when you don’t háve the energy. On áveráge it tákes me áround 20-25 mins to knock up this dish from stárt to finish, prep included. The perfect dinner to ádd to your meál rotátions.
