Bow Tie Festival

My favorite recipe from Johnny Carino's restaurant.  

**I generally 2-3x the sauce for a 16oz. box of pasta.

**If you’re watching your carb intake, this also tastes fantastic (and is more filling) if you substitute the pasta with cooked, frozen cauliflower, cut into bite size chunks.

Saute these together:
1 oz melted butter (2 tbsp)
1 tsp garlic
1/8 cup diced red onion
1/8 cup diced roma tomatoes (or more)
2 slices diced cooked bacon (approx 1/8 cup)
3 oz sliced cooked chicken
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
garlic salt

When onions begin to turn translucent, add 1 oz (1/8 cup) heavy cream (milk works OK as a substitute) and 1/8 cup asiago cheese.  Once cheese and cream have reduced by half, add 3/8 cup Alfredo sauce (3 oz) and 10 oz cooked bowtie pasta.  Toss well, then allow to cool and thicken.

**If you want to make your own alfredo sauce, combine 1 quart heavy cream, 1/4 cup whole milk, and 1 tsp pepper and saute to a consistent boil.  Remove from heat and fold in 1 cup parmesan cheese.  Can be stored in fridge until ready to use.
