Fast and easy Pasta Alfredo with bacon

Are you pressed for time? Or are you like me, and still sheltering-in-place due to local regulations? Either way, you might be trying to put meals together with what you have sitting in your pantry, versus fresh food you just picked up from the market this morning. If you are looking for something you can make from your pantry, which happens to be fast and easy, this is the pasta recipe for you!

This is super easy, and requires absolutely zero cooking skills. Love that! Here is what you need to make this delicious pasta dish:

Ingredients for my fast and easy Pasta Alfredo with bacon:

  1. 1 lb spinach pasta.
  2. 1 jar of Alfredo Sauce (that’s right, a jar! Super easy right? I prefer Rao’s Alfredo)
  3. Bacon bits (you can keep a Costco size package in your refrigerator for months-great pantry staple!)
  4. 1/3 of a bag of frozen peas (everyone has this in their freezer right?)
  5. Parmesan cheese

OK, I am sure you can tell from the ingredients, this is super easy. No chopping involved! First, you want to cook the pasta and the frozen peas. Once they are done cooking, drain and return them to the pot. Easy!

Then, you will add the Alfredo Sauce from the jar, and warm it up while mixing it in with the pasta and peas.

Once cooked, place your desired serving size on a plate, and then sprinkle the bacon bits on top. So easy!

Lastly, let everyone put the Parmesan cheese on top of their own serving to taste.

Bon Appetit! You may eat!

Wasn’t that the easiest recipe you have seen on the Internet? It’s really simple, and uses pantry staples most of us have on hand. Plus, it feels fancy, not sure why-but it does! My kids and my husband really enjoy this dish. I hope you love it too!

Summer 2020 skin care routine from left: Elizabeth Arden Superstart Probiotic Cleanser c/o Elizabeth Arden / Prai throat serum / Elemis Marine Cream / Prai 24K Gold Night Cream c/o PRAI / Prai Ageless neck cream / Elemis Superfood Tea Mist / Elemis Resurfacing Face Wash / Prai 24K Gold Eye Cream c/o PRAI / Compact Mirror c/o PRAI /

The weather is heating up, and I am spending a lot of time outside this season. This means it is time to mix up my skin care routine, and use products which will help combat the elements.

As you know, I am a huge fan of Elemis Marine Cream. This is the ideal day cream for summer. It adds the right amount of moisture, and really keeps my skin healthy during the months when I am in the pool, at the beach, and outside in general. At night, I am loving this night cream by PRAI which is great for repairing skin while I sleep. I also have fallen in love with the matching 24K eye cream. It really is fabulous!

For keeping my skin squeaky clean, I am using this Elizabeth Arden cleanser in the morning, and this Elemis resurfacing facial wash at night. It’s the perfect mix for each routine.

After a day in the sun, or outside in the wind, this Elemis Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist is idea for cooling down my skin and adding back the moisture it lost from the elements. It feels so good! Definitely a must-have in any summer skin care routine!
