Creamy Alfredo Chicken and Bacon Meatballs with Fettuccine

Creamy Alfredo Chicken and Bacon Meatballs with Fettuccine

Our family loves pasta, and it is on our table at least once or twice a week. They really love meatballs, but I feel like they get sick of the usual beef or pork ones with tomato sauces. So I served up this delicious creamy alfredo pasta with the yummiest chicken and bacon meatballs. And now they love meatballs twice as much!

Chicken and bacon meatballs are a cinch to make. Just like beef or pork ones but a little wetter. Here’s what you’ll need for the meaty part of the recipe.

Chicken mince, a couple of rashers of bacon (trimmed of fat and chopped finely), a green onion finely chopped, some plain flour, garlic powder, freshly cracked black pepper and dried parsley.

You’ll also need some kitchen preparation gloves for this one because chicken mince is gooey and messy. Wine glass with a straw is optional.

Roll your chicken and bacon mix into golf ball sized balls and place on a baking tray. I rolled the balls in a little plain flour too, as they were a little too wet and gooey. Then just pop in the oven to bake for twenty minutes.

Once they are in, cook the pasta as per packet directions and whip up a quick and easy alfredo sauce with some garlic, cream and parmesan. I added some extra bacon to ours as well because you can never have too much bacon in your life. That’s a rule to live by.

Mix the pasta with the sauce and serve with meatballs on top!
