Notes

  • Smoked streaky bacon can be used instead of bacon lardons.

  • If the sauce becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of milk.

  • Add baby spinach or peas during the final few minutes for extra vegetables.

  • Swap the mozzarella for extra Cheddar if preferred.

 💡 One pan tip: If you'd rather save on washing up, cook the chicken in the same pan after the bacon. Remove and set aside, then continue with the onions before adding the pasta. This will make it longer though.

The only one I’ve made that I think it was ok but wouldn’t necessarily make again. I made it for me and my mam and she liked it.

Hi Katy it might be that your pasta is soaking up the sauce too quick, try adding a bit extra milk next time x

Very cheesy, great flavour! The milk & the stock looked like it curdled slightly to begin with but quickly sorted itself out!
