Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

02

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to the bowl with chicken.

03

Step

Cook bacon in the same skillet until just crispy (not crunchy), about 6 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; leave grease in the skillet.

04

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

05

Step

Mix heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, remaining 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

06

Step

Sauté onion in bacon grease over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add Sauvignon Blanc wine, increase the heat, and bring to a boil.

07

Step

Add cream mixture, reduce the heat, and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in chicken, bacon, and shrimp until coated, then serve over linguine.

For an even richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve immediately after preparation to prevent the sauce from separating.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for added freshness.
