This Gluten/Dairy free creamy artichoke and bacon spaghetti is filled with the ultimate salty goodness… BACON! I was in a bit of a food coma after this one 😉
These portions are estimates. I don’t like to measure when it comes to creating in the kitchen. Use this as a little guide to inspire you to get creative in the kitchen.
Creamy Artichoke and Bacon Spaghetti
PRE-HEAT the oven to 375 degrees
PLACE 1 pound of bacon slices on a cookie sheet and bake until desired crispness. About 1/2 hour.
REMOVE bacon, place on a plate lined with a paper towels. When cooled, cut into bite size pieces, and set aside.
PLACE most of the bacon grease into a pan and turn stove to medium high heat.
SAUTE 1 finely chopped onion until just about tender.
ADD some red pepper flakes and 1 tbsp. dried oregano.
STIR in 1-13.5 oz. can of full fat coconut milk, 3/4 of a 6oz. jar of pesto, and 1-14 oz. can of drained and chopped artichoke hearts.
ADD a lot of cracked black pepper and a little bit of some Celtic salt to taste. If you leave the bacon out of this dish you may want to add a little bit more salt.
COOK 1 pkg. of your favorite Gluten Free spaghetti (I like Tinkyada brand) 1 minute less than package directions.
DRAIN pasta and stir into sauce.
ADD 1-2 tbsp. EVOO, taste for seasoning.
SPRINKLE with reserved bacon and fresh chopped flat leaf parsley.
This creamy artichoke and bacon spaghetti is a little bit of heaven on Earth! Here’s a photo in all it’s ooey gooey messiness after I mixed everything all together…
I used a store bought vegan (because it’s dairy free) pesto, but you could always make your own. Just take the bacon out for a vegan version of this dish. Or, add some parmesan cheese if dairy doesn’t bother you.
Side note: This post was created on my previous website on 4/8/2016. I decided to keep the post the way it was because it’s still relevant and I still love this dish!
Grateful for Today and for the library. My kiddo loves to go there and get books and movies. I like it as well, especially thumbing through all the cookbooks.
What pasta dish do you love with bacon in it?
