Linguine with Chicken, Bacon, and Sun Dried Tomatoes


Sometimes when my my Hubby makes pasta dish, he adds many different ingredients and "cleans out the pantry" and fridge. He called this dish Confetti Pasta, because of all the flavors and colors, but this pasta is so good, you can't stop eating it.  This dish started with sauteed garlic and yellow onion,  Add in chicken stock, sun dried tomatoes, garlic,  Italian seasonings, and chicken breasts cut in chunks that had been sauteed,  and turkey bacon. You can use regular bacon or pancetta also. You can also red pepper flakes, if desired Then simmer for about 3-5 min to let the flavors mingle.   Serve over you favorite cooked pasta. Add Feta cheese and  garnish with parsley and chopped green onion.  There are so may layers of flavor in the sauce with the turkey bacon, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and seasonings topped with Feta cheese, Delicious! This meal comes together quickly, and tastes so good. Enjoy and do the  Happy Friday Dance!
