Fettuccine Alfredo With Crispy Bacon and Ham
Fettuccine with bacon and ham is a favorite of mine and it is a fairly easy entrée to prepare. Again, I must say that most of my recipes are not something you want to eat if you are watching your weight or cholesterol. My famous line “ it doesn’t hurt to indulge yourself once in a while”.
