Baked Bacon Pastas

Fazoli’s New Smoky Bacon Pasta Bake Will Keep You Warm on a Cold Night

— October 24, 2019 — Lifestyle
Fall is the season for comfort food, which is why Fazoli’s has just added a warm and comforting new Smoky Bacon Pasta Bake to its menu. The new pasta bake is part of a larger fall lineup that includes two other equally indulgent fall dishes.

Available at participating locations for a limited time, Fazoli’s new Smoky Bacon Pasta Bake is meant to keep consumers warm on chilly fall nights. The new dish starts with orecchiette pasta, which is tossed with a smoky gouda cheese sauce and chopped bacon. The whole thing is baked to give it a slightly crispy texture, and then topped with even more gouda and mozzarella cheeses.

For those looking for other comforting pasta options, Fazoli’s fall menu also includes the new Smoky Chicken Carbonara Bake and the Blackened Shrimp and Chicken Bake.
