Hello Friends! I hope this week finds you doing well. We had a busy weekend with social gatherings and events. I love getting together with friends and Monday just came to fast for me this week. I wanted to share a quick, but tasty recipe idea for Chicken Gouda Pasta with Bacon.
This recipe idea came from a dish I tried at a local restaurant and I was able to recreate it at home pretty easily. The Gouda cheese is so smooth and creamy and makes this dish a wonderful and memorable meal.
I like to use spaghetti, because that is what I have the most of in my pantry, but you could use another pasta as well. This Chicken Pasta with Bacon and Gouda makes a nice quick meal when you have a busy day (so any day basically)!

You can use turkey bacon if you wish.
What is nice about this dish, is that it is a nice idea all year long. It also makes a nice lunch idea.
