Creamy bacon pasta: will it taste weird with creme fraiche instead of normal double cream?

[Lio]

I am cooking for a friend tonight, told her what I am cooking (pasta, bacon, onion, pepper, cream) and she has said can it be creme fraiche instead of normal cream. I don't know why she wants this and can't ring her. Will it taste odd? Am happy to do hers in a sep pan if nec.

THanks hanaflower, I also think it is weird.

Maybe she is on a diet? FWIW I always use half fat creme fraiche in pasta - it tastes different to double cream, but is definitely not weird.

Just thought maybe not with bacon, waynetta?

Thanks Califrau xx

mmmmmm...now i know what i'm having for dinner!

purplemonkeydishwasher, mine transmogrified into pizza from the freezer after all that

I always use half fat creme fraiche and it's delicious. I prefer it as find regular cream too rich. I don't know about calories, but I do know that it is less rich - if I had pasta with cream, I have an upset stomach after but pasta with creme fraiche is fine.

oh dear. Bling was inappropriately late to the party! Sorry.

well ours was delicious! had chicken bacon brocolli and garlic. DH said: I'd have that again!

Late to the party too but I use creme fraiche a lot now for sauces. I have a friend who can't tolerate a lot of dairy, so cream is out but is ok with creme fraiche. Perhaps that's the reason?

Well that's my tea sorted!!!!
