  • 1 pound of farfalle, or bow-tie pasta

  • 2 chicken breasts, skinned and boned (about 1 IB)
  • A half teaspoon of kosher salt
  • A Measurement of Black Pepper, Grounded to a Pinch's Worth
  • 12 oz. slices of bacon that have been chopped down the middle
  • 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1.25 ounces of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice or white wine
  • Cream or half-and-half, 1 cup
  • 1/2 cup of peas

Instructions

  • Follow the instructions on the farfalle pasta package for cooking

  • 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese should be added, with some remaining for garnish
  • Cook for approximately 3 minutes, stirring often
