Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon 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, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the bowl with chicken.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

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