Chicken Farfalle Casserole Food

FARFALLE FESTIVAL

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until nearly crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Return the bacon to the skillet, and stir in the red onion, garlic, Roma tomatoes, chicken, black pepper, garlic salt, and salt. Cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and onions are translucent. Stir in the cream and Asiago cheese, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the Alfredo sauce and the cooked pasta. Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly before serving.

CHEESY CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 2- to 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.
• Cook pasta as directed on package, using minimum cook time. Drain and return to saucepan. Add soup, chicken and 1 cup of the cheese to pasta in pan; stir to combine. Spoon into casserole. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over top.
• Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley.

FARFALLE WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, add the broccoli florets to the pasta and stir and cook for another 4 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, pasta, salt and pepper and toss. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if necessary, to make a light sauce. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with Parmesan.

BROCCOLI & CHICKEN FARFALLE

Steps:

• For the chicken, cook however you want. Grilled, baked, fried, poached. I prefer to seanson with 1 tsp of italian seasoning and grill, but this you can do to your personal preference.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt boiling water and cook pasta until done.
• Meanwhile, steam broccoli florets. I do this in the microwave just to cut down on time. Place broccoli in a bowl with about an inch of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Make a slit in the plastic for steam to escape. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached.
• Melt butter in a small pot on Medium-low heat. Add flour and garlic powder and whisk to form a roux. Cook for a few minutes. Add wine and whisk until it is evaporated. Add in chicken stock and then the cream, whisking the whole time.
• **You need to work quick once you add the wine. If your pot is too hot when you add the wine it can turn your roux into a dough which won't mix into your liquids well.
• Allow mixture to cook until it begins to thicken. Whisking often to ensure it does not burn. Once thickened add in cheese.
• **whisk in a zig zag motion to ensure that the grated cheese doesn't turn into a ball in the sauce.
• Toss pasta with broccoli and chicken and serve.
