Pasta e Fagioli
Pasta e Fagioli is a classic Italian soup made with pasta, beans, and vegetables. It is a hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. There are many different variations of Pasta e Fagioli, and in fact, I have three other Pasta e Fagioli recipes on this blog! This one has a creamy texture from puréeing a can of white Beans.

Creamy Pea Salad with Bacon
Frozen green peas, which are picked and frozen at their peak ripeness, are almost always better than fresh peas. This Creamy pea salad with bacon is a classic American side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is made with frozen peas, bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion, and a creamy dressing made from sour cream, mayonnaise, and vinegar. The salad is typically chilled before serving, which allows the flavors to meld together.

Fried Cabbage With Noodles & Bacon
This Fried Cabbage With Noodles & Bacon is absolutely delicious. It is so simple and quick to make. What makes it is the addition of bacon, parmesan cheese, and a bit of lemon juice at the end. I sometimes have leftover cabbage and this is the perfect way to use it. I will be putting this on repeat.

Peanut Butter, Scallion, and Bacon Canapés
We used to be members of the California Club in downtown Los Angeles. They often served these peanut butter and bacon canapés that were our favorite. Peanut butter and bacon are a classic combination, and the scallions add a nice freshness and crunch. The combination of salty and sweet flavors is really addictive. I will admit, the recipe sounds extremely strange, and when I made these, they disappeared in less than 5 minutes! My husband insists that the Cal Club version was lots of butter, then peanut butter, then bacon on toast.

Baked Bacon and Leek Risotto
I found this recipe on Sainsbury's website. I have completely changed it. Yes, Baked Bacon and Leek Risotto is much easier to make than stovetop risotto. The oven does the hard work of cooking the rice, so you don't have to stand over the stove stirring constantly. This dish is also less likely to overcook, as the oven will keep the risotto moist and creamy.

Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti
Spaghetti, four strips of bacon, a can of diced tomatoes, a bit of cream, spices, and viola, you've got a satisfying meal. This Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti is of course topped off with parmesan cheese. These are all ingredients that I always have on hand. Made this last night when our kids came for a spontaneous dinner. We even made garlic bread out of some leftover hot dog buns! Talk about haute cuisine!

Coq Au Vin Blanc
Coq au vin is a classic French dish of chicken that is braised in wine, with bacon, and mushrooms. A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though there are variations in the different regions of France, such as coq au vin jaune, coq au riesling, coq au pourpre or coq au violet, and coq au Champagne. I actually prefer it using white wine. Coq au vin is basically a chicken stew.

Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang
If three chefs, one Korean, one Japanese, and one Italian walked into a kitchen (bar)... This Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang is sort of a carbonara using Asian ingredients. I know it sounds a bit odd, but it totally works. The key to making this is to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go because this dish is very quick to make. You should use frozen Japanese udon, which has a completely different texture than the dried version.

Creamy Pasta with Broccoli & Bacon
This Creamy Pasta with Broccoli and Bacon is quick and a wonderful weeknight dinner. It's sure to satisfy your whole family. Sun-dried tomatoes give it a tangy and subtly sweet flavor, which pairs well with the saltiness of the bacon. You can also add chicken breast if you want to add more protein.
