Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb pasta shells
  • 1 3/4 cups alfredo sauce (1 jar, about 1 lb)
  • 3 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp onion salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

  1. Fry bacon till very crispy. I use a George Forman grill for about 12-15 minutes to dry it out and get rid of most of the grease.
  2. Boil the pasta according to package directions. When finished, let it sit in the water to keep it from sticking together.
  3. Dice the tomatoes while waiting on bacon and pasta.
  4. Combine cooked pasta shells, alfredo sauce, tomatoes, and seasoning in an 11 x 7 glass casserole dish. Add additional seasoning to taste if necessary.
  5. Dish can be baked in the oven, but I think this dries it out a bit. (If anyone tries this, please let me know how it works for you!) I usually just put the casserole dish in the microwave (mine is 1200 watts I think, and large enough to fit this size of dish) for 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring every minute.
  6. Remove dish carefully from the microwave, as it will be hot.
  7. Crush the bacon into bite-sized chunks and sprinkle it evenly on top of the casserole dish. Alfredo is ready to serve!
