This bacon and shrimp linguini toss has been a weeknight staple in my house for nearly a decade. It has brought many smiles, full bellies and happy plates and is still the most requested pasta dish in my household. You know you’ve got a winner when picky two year old’s clean their plates and ask for seconds and thirds.
Now I wouldn’t say it is the healthiest when you think about the bacon and cheese but it definitely worth a cheat day if you are going on a low carb diet.
I have made many variations of this linguini toss, bacon no bacon, shrimp, chicken you name it, I’ve tried it. This is my go to pasta dish when I don’t know what to cook for dinner. The reason this a staple in my house is because 90% of the time I already have both the pantry items and the perishables readily available. Both the perishable and pantry items I pick up regularly to keep as staples because they are often used in many of my other recipes.
Pantry items:
Linguini pasta
Roasted, diced tomatoes
Chicken Stock
Perishables:
Onions

Substitutes:
To make this recipe vegetarian friendly substitute the chicken stock for vegetable stock. It does not take away from the flavor essence of this recipe. I often use this substitute on meatless monday.
If you are not big on shrimp or bacon, you can also substitute with chicken.
