Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onion

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the sliced onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).

  4. 4

    Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the caramelized onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Cooking the Proteins

  1. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).

  2. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
