Bowtie Festival

1 oz melted butter
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/8 cup diced red onion
1/8 cup diced cooked bacon
1/4 cup roma tomatoes
3 oz sliced cooked chicken
1 oz heavy whipping cream
3 oz alfredo sauce (recipe follows)
1/8 cup Asiago cheese
1/2 tsp salt, pepper, garlic salt
10 oz precooked bowtie pasta

Alfredo:
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 T pepper
1/4 cup whole milk

Alfredo directions: Saute cream, milk and pepper to a consistent boil. Remove from heat. Fold in parmesan cheese. Store in fridge until use.

In heated sauce pan combine butter, garlic, onion, bacon, tomato, chicken, and spice mixture. When onions become translucent, add heavy cream and asiago cheese. Once cheese and cream have reduced by half, add alfredo sauce and pasta. Toss until well combined. Remove from heat and let stand until sauce thickens.

This recipe is sort of a lot of work (I won't lie), but if you have a little time then it is definitely worth it. I found the recipe online a while back and have only made it a couple of times because once again heavy whipping cream, not that good for the hips. Every now and then I just want to have a nice meal so we splurge and then go for a long walk.
Oh and I know the recipe is wierd with the oz measurements. Next time I make this, I will try to figure out what it equals to in terms of cups and tablespoons to make it a little easier.
