Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 slices bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup minced onion
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons drained and chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
2 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce
½ pound fresh spinach
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
1 lemon, juiced
½ cup milk
¼ teaspoon white pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cooled.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir crumbled bacon and onion in the hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken into mixture and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink inside and lightly browned outside, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir sun-dried tomatoes and pesto in a large skillet over medium heat until pesto gives off a little oil, about 2 minutes; stir in spinach and cook until wilted, stirring constantly.
  • Mix mascarpone cheese, 2 cloves of garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, milk, and white pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until smooth and bubbling, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes; stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and bacon mixture.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Gently fold pasta into chicken mixture and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with spinach mixture and sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon Parmesan cheese, or to taste.
