Note
The original text mentioned "Heavy Cream" and "Parmesan cheese" in the directions but they were missing from the ingredient list. Ensure you have approximately 1.5 cups of heavy cream and 2 oz of grated Parmesan cheese on hand.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth if preferred.
Green noodles often contain spinach or herbs; ensure they are fully cooked and drained well to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to restore consistency.
