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.

• Save time with a rotisserie chicken and you can have this ready in minutes.
• Shred the Gouda cheese earlier in the day and make the bacon ahead of time so it is ready when you need it.
• Note, if you do not have spaghetti, you can use any pasta. It is a great way to use up pasta you already have.

I like using light cream, but you can use heavy cream if you like.
