Chicken Bacon Pasta

This is a little more up my alley! I can cook much better than I can sew. I saw this today on of course, none other than Pinterest.

I had all the ingredients, it wasn't hard to make, and it didn't take that long! Perfect meal!

Chicken Bacon Pasta inspired byTasty Kitchen (Printable Recipe)

Ingredients:

1/2 pound bacon, cooked and roughly chopped

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (I didn't use any)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 pound penne pasta

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup cream cheese

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 whole eggs

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

2 grilled chicken breast, sliced (since it's freezing outside, I just cooked mine on a pan on the stove)

Directions:

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. 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. 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.
