CREAMY CHICKEN AND BACON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook for time per packet MINUS 2 minutes (finishes cooking in Sauce).
• SCOOP OUT a mugful of pasta cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon until golden, drain on paper towels.
• Season chicken on both sides, cook in bacon fat, 2 minutes each side.
• Wipe pan - optional, to keep sauce pretty and white, and for a buttery clean tasting sauce rather than very bacony (Note 3).
• Over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 - 4 minutes until onion is light golden and soft.
• Add cream, about 3/4 cup pasta water and parmesan. Stir, then simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces slightly - you don't need to be exact here. Season with salt & pepper.
• Add pasta and toss gently in the sauce for about 1 1/2 minutes. The sauce will thicken and coat the pasta, do this step until you get the sauce consistency you want. If your sauce gets too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
• Toss through bacon and chicken.
• Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and parsley!

CREAMY CHICKEN AND BACON PASTA

Steps:

• Steam broccoli in water. Reserve water to cook pasta.
• Cook the pasta following the directions on the packaging. Add more water if necessary. Reserve pasta water for the mushrooms (Step 5) or for thinning out the sauce in last step.
• Cook the chicken using your preferred method then dice. I cut mine into small strips and poach them using my recipe #311050.
• Dice the bacon and cook on medium high in a skillet until crisp. Remove to paper towel lined bowl to drain. If desired, use the remaining bacon drippings to brown the onions. If not, move to step three.
• Brown onions in non-stick skillet on medium high using cooking spray. Once slightly brown, add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are done. I like mine a little softer so once the liquid evaporates I usually add about 1/2 cup of pasta water or water from steaming veggies and allow that to evaporate, too.
• Brown garlic in butter on medium high. Whisk flour into evaporated milk and add to garlic. Whisk constantly and bring to a soft bubble. Usually 5 minutes. Add skim milk and bring back to bubbling.
• Set tomatoes to drain. Reserve liquid for another use.
• Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
• In a large bowl pour the sauce over the pasta, chicken, broccoli, mushrooms, bacon, and tomatoes. Mix slightly to incorporate, then add the shredded cheese. Mix well.
• If sauce seems a little thick and too sticky, add some of the pasta water (about 1/4 cup at first) to thin it out a little.

CHICKEN & BACON PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saucepan over a low heat and fry the onion for 10 mins, or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins more. Add the cream, mascarpone, parmesan and stock cube. Give it a stir and add the cooked chicken and bacon to heat through.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Reserve 100ml of the pasta water. Toss the pasta in the creamy sauce and enough of the reserved water to loosen. Season with black pepper. Top with the parsley and serve with a green salad.
