Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Bow Tie Pasta.
Step 1
To create a delicious Asiago cream sauce, start by pouring 2 cups of heavy cream into a large saucepan.
Step 2
Heat it over medium heat, watching closely for bubbles while ensuring it doesn’t boil over.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles, whisk in the Asiago cheese and chicken bouillon until the cheese melts and the bouillon dissolves beautifully.
Step 4
Next, stir in a cornstarch mixture and let the sauce simmer gently, stirring constantly until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Now, add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mixing them well into the sauce.
Step 6
You can set this delightful Asiago cream sauce aside or cover it and pop it in the fridge for later use.
Step 7
While the sauce is coming together, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Step 8
Toss in your bow tie pasta and cook it for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it’s tender yet still has a nice bite to it.
Step 9
Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside, ready to soak up all that creamy goodness.
Step 10
In a large skillet, cook some bacon over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally until it’s evenly browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 11
Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 12
Set this aside for that extra crunch.
Step 13
Now, let’s build some flavor! Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then sauté diced red onion in the hot butter until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 14
Add the crumbled bacon and chopped garlic to the pan, cooking and stirring for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 15
Next, stir in diced chicken, chopped green onion, and the remaining cup of heavy cream.
Step 16
Cook this mixture until the cream is heated through, stirring occasionally to combine all those wonderful flavors.
Step 17
Once everything is warmed up, gently fold in the prepared Asiago cream sauce, allowing it to meld with the chicken mixture.
Step 18
Finally, add the cooked bow tie pasta to the saucepan, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in that luscious sauce.
Step 19
Serve your dish hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 20
Enjoy every creamy, savory bite!.
