How To Make chicken bacon pasta

  • 1
    Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until done (according to package instructions). Place cream and cream cheese in a small saucepan. Heat over low until cream cheese is melted, and whisk until smooth.
  • 2
    Remove from heat. Add the Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and pepper and whisk until blended. Drain pasta (reserving 1/2 cup of hot water) and return to pot. Immediately add the white sauce and toss to coat.
  • 3
    The hot pasta will cook the eggs. Stir in the bacon, and add some reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Top with grilled chicken.
