Johnny Carino's Bowtie Festival

You will need....
1 oz. melted butter
1 tsp. chopped fresh garlic
1/8 c. cooked bacon
1 c. sliced cooked chicken
1 oz. heavy whipping cream
8 oz. Alfredo sauce(recipe follows)
1/8 c. Asiago cheese
1/2 tsp. salt, pepper, and garlic salt
10 oz. precooked bowtie pasta

ALFREDO SAUCE:
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 c. Parmesan cheese
1 TBL black pepper
1/4 c. whole milk

*Make the Alfredo sauce....Saute heavy cream, milk, and black pepper to a constant boil. Remove cream mixture from heat and fold in Parmesan cheese. Store completed sauce in the fridge until use.
*In a heated sauce pan combine butter, garlic, bacon, chicken, and spice mixture. Once it is mixed well and heated all the way through, add heavy cream and Asiago cheese. Once cream and cheese have reduced by half, add Alfredo sauce and bowtie pasta. Toss until well combined and remove from heat. Allow to sit for just a few minutes so the cheese and sauce will thicken.
