Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped pickles
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (substituted with turkey bacon or omitted)

Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Begin by cooking the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the onions and garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Incorporate the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, then drain any excess fat.
- Make the sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually mix in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Combine everything: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the cooked fettuccine, diced tomatoes, and pickles, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
- Garnish and serve: If using turkey bacon, sprinkle it over the top before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for an added touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously rich and comforting dish.
Notes
- You can substitute regular bacon with turkey bacon or omit it for a lighter version.
- For a twist, you can add more veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
