Ingredients

  • 10 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup diced Roma tomatoes
  • 1 cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese
  • 1/3 cup Alfredo sauce

Method

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • Stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil.
  • Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until nearly crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bacon and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  • Return the bacon to the skillet, and stir in the red onion, garlic, Roma tomatoes, chicken, black pepper, garlic salt, and salt.
  • Cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and onions are translucent.
  • Stir in the cream and Asiago cheese, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the Alfredo sauce and the cooked pasta.
  • Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
