Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
6 strips bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 small tomatoes, diced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set bacon on paper towels to drain.
  • Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
  • Melt butter in the large skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook until juices start to release, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Mix in paprika, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper flakes. Slowly add cream; bring mixture to a boil. Mix in Parmesan cheese, bacon, chicken, and parsley until well combined. Stir in pasta.
