Fettuccine With Brie and Bacon Sauce
"I know, the title of this alone makes you think "heart attack on a plate." What a way to go! It is artery clogging, but once in a blue moon it's nice to indulge a bit! The sauce is utterly rich and lucious thanks to the melted Brie!"

Just the sort of dish that pleases a cheese addicted person like myself, add the bacon and you can't go wrong! Love these flavors and in my opinion it is not as rich as a Carbonara Pasta. The second time I made it I added a small onion, garlic, more broth and also fresh chopped parsley. Thanks Mark for a quick and tasty pasta dish. -
Love it! Love brie, the stinkier, the better! Made 1/2 the recipe for the 2 of us, no leftovers. Added some parsley on top for visual and health effect. -
Delicious! Served with a green salad and fresh bread for an easy dinner the entire family enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Very rich and verry good. Added garlic and onion, doubled bacon. Kids wolfed down, boyfriends cholesterol went up a few points. lol -
Delicious! I added garlic when frying the bacon (great!). I will make this again and again - it is so simple and tasty. Next time I might try adding chicken, mushrooms or avocado (or maybe all three). Thanks for this!

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
