Instructions

  1. In a heated sauté pan, combine butter, garlic, onions, bacon, tomatoes, chicken, and spice mixture.
  2. When onions begin to turn translucent, add heavy cream and Asiago cheese.
  3. Once cheese and cream have reduced by half, add Alfredo sauce and bowtie pasta. Toss until well combined and remove from the heat.
  4. Allow the pasta to cool for a few minutes so the cheese and sauce can thicken.

Notes

  • For the most authentic flavor, use a high-quality Alfredo sauce or make your own from scratch. The dish tastes even better when the pasta is cooked just shy of al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot sauce. For an extra flavor boost, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and add it to the sauce – the starch helps the sauce adhere better to the pasta.
