Creamy Chicken and Bacon Fettucine

Pasta is always a favourite at our house especially Spaghetti Carbonarra with the kids so I knew that this dish would be a hit also.

A very easy and quick dish to prepare - the creamy taste complimented by the bacon and a hint of parmesan makes this dish a comfort meal that everyone enjoys eating during the winter months.
