Ingredients:
- 1 pack (500g) Fettuccine
- 1 TBSP Oil
- 4 pieces Chicken schnitzel
- 1 pack Bacon
- 1 TBSP Butter
- 1 TBSP Flour
- 2 cups Cream
- 1 punnet Mushrooms
- 1 tsp Garlic, crushed (can add more or less as desired)
- To taste Salt
- To taste Pepper
- To garnish Parsley
- 4 Consol Glass Opal Rimless Soup Bowls
Method:
-
Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
-
Place the chicken schnitzel in an air fryer and cook on the air fryer setting at 200°C for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Once done, slice into strips and set aside.
-
Place a pasta pot filled with water on medium high heat and bring to a boil.
-
Once boiling, add 15 ml oil, a pinch of salt and the Fettuccine. Stir the pasta using a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the oil and prevent the pasta from sticking.
-
Continue to cook over medium heat until water becomes milky white and the Fettuccine is al dente, then remove from the heat and drain excess water.
-
Whilst the pasta is cooking, in a separate saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat, then add the flour and stir to form a smooth paste. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes, or until the paste turns golden brown.
-
Gradually add the cream to the paste, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, then once the sauce thickens, reduce the heat to low.
-
Add the mushrooms to the sauce and cook until softened.
-
Then stir in the cooked bacon and crushed garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
-
Add the cooked Fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
-
Plate the Alfredo pasta into Consol Glass Opal Rimless Soup Bowls and top with the sliced schnitzel.
-
Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and enjoy!
