• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Filling:Put whole potatoes in water and boil until tender.
• Drain and cut in half.
• Put in ricer one at a time and squeeze through into mixing bowl.
• Remove skin from ricer and finish the rest of the potatoes.
• Add 1/4 stick of butter, salt (1 teaspoon to start) and pepper (a few turns of the pepper mill to your liking), add reserved bacon and 1/4 cup sour cream.
• Mix until combined.
• Add baking powder and 1/2 of the milk and mix for another minute, adding more milk if needed to make the consistency to your liking.
• They should be creamy but not soupy.
• Pour into a baking dish and put in 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
• The baking powder will give the potato a fluffy texture and baking it again will help incorporate all the flavors.
• Pasta: Using a stand mixer with a dough hook works best, but if you do not have one of these, make your pasta in a food processor or the old fashion way, by hand.
• I will use the stand mixer method for this recipe: place all ingredients for pasta in bowl and mix to incorporate, stopping several times to scrape down bowl. The hook will eventually make a ball out of the pasta.
• Pull the pasta dough out of the bowl and knead it until it is incorporated well.
• Cut into 4-6 pieces and wrap in plastic wrap tightly and put in the fridge to rest for about 20 minutes.
• Put a 4-quart pan on the stove with water.
• When water boils, add pinch of salt (adding salt after boil prevents salt damage to bottom of pan).
• Pull pasta from fridge and set the rollers on your pasta machine to widest setting and roll until you get nice pliable dough to work with, then start to flatten the pasta into sheets.
• Lay sheets on the work table and cut them into 4 inch square (or a 6x4 inch depending on the size you want).
• When water is boiling, put pasta in water cooking for about 4-5 minutes (fresh pasta cooks fast).
• If you need to do this in batches, use tongs to carefully pull out the pasta and set it in a colander, rinsing with cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Add a bit of olive oil after to prevent sticking.
• Putting together the manicotti:.
• Take pasta squares to the work station and lay them out to prepare for filling.
• Add enough potato to the pasta to make a nice roll with minimal overlap.
• Place manicotti in baking dish carefully, allowing space between them so they do not stick together.
• Put in the 350°F oven for about 10 minutes (about the time it takes to make the sauce).
• All things up to this point can be made ahead of time and frozen or put in the fridge ready to go.
• Sauce: Heat cream slowly and add Gorgonzola to melt.
• •Alternative: melt butter add flour and cook to a nut brown (roux) lower heat and add milk, whisking the roux to make it smooth.
• Allow the milk to come to temp slowly.
• Add cheese.
• Finish: remove manicotti from oven, should be nice and tender, not crispy.
• Place a tablespoon of sauce on plate and place manicotti on sauce.
• Add a ribbon of sauce over the top of the pasta along with chives and parm (optional).

When reduced, add the chicken stock, and continue to simmer until reduced by half. Strain into another sauce pan and stir in the butter. Season the mixture with salt, and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.
• Chicken:
• Season the chicken lightly with salt, and pepper, to taste. Lay 4 slices of bacon crosswise on a cutting board with the slices slightly overlapping. Put a chicken breast on top of the bacon. Bring the bacon slices up and around the chicken so the entire breast is wrapped. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and bacon.
• In a large oven-proof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Get the pan and oil hot, and then add the bacon-wrapped chicken and cook until the bacon is crispy on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 18 minutes.

• Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Season the salad with salt, and pepper, to taste. Put the arugula and fennel into a large bowl and toss until well coated.
• Scoop some risotto nicely into the center or each plate, making sure it has some height so the chicken can stand up. Cut the chicken on a bias and put on top of the risotto. Drizzle some of the red wine sauce around the plate and directly over the chicken. Top each plate with some arugula salad and serve.
