Johnny Carino's Bowtie Festival Pasta from Randi:

1 oz. melted butter

1 tsp chopped fresh garlic

1/8 cup diced red onion

1/8 cup cooked bacon

1/4 cup diced roma tomatoes

3 oz sliced cooked chicken

1 oz. heavy (whipping) cream

3 oz. alfredo sauce (recipe follows)

1/8 cup asiago cheese

1/2 tsp. salt, pepper and garlic salt

10 oz. pre-cooked bowtie pasta

ALFREDO SAUCE

1 quart heavy whipping cream

1 cup parmesan cheese

1 T black pepper

1/4 cup whole milk

In a heated saute pan combine butter, garlic, onions, bacon, tomatoes, chicken and spice mixture.

When onions begin to turn translucent, add heavy cream and Asiago cheese.

Once cheese and cream have reduced by half, add Alfredo sauce and bow tie pasta. Toss until well combined and remove from fire. Allow to cool for a few minutes so the cheese and sauce thicken.

Alfredo Sauce:

Saute heavy cream, milk and black pepper to a consistent boil. Remove cream mixture from heat and fold in parmesan cheese. Store completed sauce in refrigerator until use.
