Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked whole wheat fettuccine
  • 2 bacon strips, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 ounces fat-free cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
