Chicken and Bowtie Pasta with Asiago Cream Sauce

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Pasta

"A tasty mix of chicken, garlic, mushrooms, prosciutto and pasta are complemented by a thin but flavorful Asiago cream sauce."

Original recipe yield: 6 servings.

"A very good pasta dish that the entire family liked. However, I did modify the recipe a bit. I substitued home-made fresh pasta, used left-over roasted chicken, replaced the chicken bouillon with close to a teaspoon of chicken base, used a full cup of asiago, added a bit more prosciutto and garlic, increased the amount of mushrooms to about a cup of wild mushrooms, and added a couple healthy grinds of black pepper along with a good pinch of red pepper flakes. Well...I sorta followed the recipe." - sgrishka

Chicken and Bowtie Pasta with Asiago Cream Sauce Preparation

DIRECTIONS:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken cubes, reducing heat if necessary, until no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups cream to a simmer, stirring often. Whisk in bouillon and cheese until well blended and bouillon has dissolved completely. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water, and whisk into mixture. Cook and stir 2 minutes more, then remove from heat and set aside.

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Stir in prosciutto, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Add chicken, reduce heat, and continue cooking until chicken is heated through. Return sauce to the stove and add remaining 1/4 cup cream and parsley flakes. Heat through.

To serve, place pasta in a large mixing or serving bowl. Add chicken and mushroom mixture and pour in cream sauce. Toss well, and serve.

Notes

Really good dish. I have made it 2 times. I am going to try to add more garlic to it and maybe some pepper next time. It's just slightly bland.

    Very tasty, although being a home cook, I found this recipe somewhat difficult to prepare. It all turned out good though, just time consuming.

    Our local grocery was out of prosciutto so I subbed in pepperoni. It added a bit of extra kick but looking forward to trying it with the intended ingredients. This is very rich indeed, and my kids love it!

    Wow this was very good! I did tweak it slightly by adding green pepper and onion with the chicken and instead of the 1/4 cup cream at the end I did 1/4 cup sour cream to make the sauce thicker. Served with shredded Parmesan cheese on top. Oh and I substituted ham for prosciutto, our grocer does not carry it.

    This was so good! The kids ate it really well and my husband and mom said it was like a restaurant.

    Very good! Very similar to Carino's Chicken Bow Tie Festival. Used bacon instead of prosciutto.

    This was AMAZING!

    This was fantastic; I made just a few changes:
    -used 3 large garlic cloves
    -used 1.5 amounts the cheese called for
    -used 3/4 of the pasta to keep the ratio of pasta/cheese/chicken the way my family likes it

    My 17 year old had 3rds and the kids are currently arguing over who gets to take it for lunch tomorrow.

    This was good except the sauce was very thin, I tried thickening it but couldn't get it thick enough. It wasn't as tasty as I had hoped though. Maybe next time I'll add more cheese.

    I made this for my partner & myself, we both loved it & thought sweetcorn kernels would be a superb addition. Very tasty and filling meal.

    My boyfriend and I cooked this together and made it a point to follow the recipe's instructions to the dot, not changing or adding anything because we rarely ever cook! We made the dish and liked it a lot except for that it was pretty salty! Lol we ended up reading the directions wrong and put 1/4 of bouillon seasoning rather than only 1/4 of ONE cube :/

    Yum!!!! I added sautéd onions and red peppers, but the recipe was perfect even without them. Yum yum yum! Everyone had seconds, some even had thirds

    I made this the other night and my boyfriend and I couldn't stop eating it! I did make some changes, I added a lot more garlic (I'm obsessed lol) and some artichokes. Definitely a new favorite in our house
    1 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 29 minutes ago
    Delicious and easy to make! I sprinkled some of the cheese on top. Next time I would like to add more seasonings and add artichokes.
    1 years, 8 months, 12 hours, 12 minutes ago
    Excellent, I added a wee bit more cheese, garlic and a whole bouillon cube turned out fabulous! Next time I'm going to add some artichoke pieces for a little bit more taste, but other than that would def make it again!

    Best meal I've cooked in a long time! I didn't use mushroom (not a fan). Also, I used about 4 times the amount of asiago cheese which made it perfectly thick. I went with recommendations to use more proscrutto which also was perfect. I used about 1/2 cup. I'm a garlic fanatic so I of course used more like 5 cloves. Sooooo good!!!!!
