Chipotle (Bacon) Pasta

Pasta, pasta and more pasta

I would have to say in 3 years at school, pasta is the #1 dish cooked by students. Whether it is mac and cheese or pasta with tomato sauce, all these dishes seem to be the quick fallback option for student cooking (next to pizza maybe). Pasta as we all may know is full of carbs and is good in small doses, however too much pasta is plainly just overkill.

If you are looking for a pasta dish however, I have one that you will enjoy, especially if you like a little bit of spice with your dish.

You will need: (4 servings)

 

1 ½ cups Alfredo Sauce (pre made jar or make your own)

2 Tablespoons chipotle BBQ sauce (presidents choice sause shown)

4 Cups pasta

Can also add bacon bits or diced sausage for some protein.

Cook pasta according to package directions. After your water has drained, over low heat and stirring continuously, add your Alfredo sauce, chipotle BBQ sauce, and optional bacon and/or sausage.

Another rendition to this dish is to add cheddar cheese on top after plating on an oven safe dish, then broil to melt the cheese, adds a nice cheesy taste to the dish!

This recipe is extremely easy and is a big change from the traditional mac and cheese or tomato sauce.
