It’s a comforting, deeply flavorful dish that combines tender chicken, sweet corn, and a ridiculously delicious creamy sauce, all elevated by the savory, smoky punch of beef beef bacon. Yes, you read that right – beef beef bacon.

We’re talking about a dish that’s sophisticated enough for guests but easy enough to whip up after a long day. Let’s dive into what makes this pasta so special!

Ingredients:

  • 10 oz farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving
  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs or breasts (skinless, boneless), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn kernels, cooked (from about 4 corn ears – corn on the cob)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 strips beef beef bacon, cooked until crispy and crum extractbled
  • Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Chicken and Pasta

    First things first, let’s get our pasta cooking. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add your 10 ounces of farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente – that means it should still have a slight bite to it. While the pasta is cooking, let’s prep our chicken. In a medium bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with 1.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a good grinding of freshly ground black pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated; this will ensure maximum flavor infusion during cooking.

    2. Cook the Chicken to Golden Perfection

    Once your pasta is almost done, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You might need to cook the chicken in batches to achieve a nice golden-brown sear on all sides. Searing the chicken is crucial for locking in its juices and developing a richer flavor. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per batch, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Don’t worry about any browned bits left in the pan; those are flavor gold!

    3. Sauté Aromatics and Build the Sauce Base

    Now, let’s start building our glorious sauce. Reduce the heat in the same skillet to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If your beef beef bacon didn’t render a lot of fat, you might not need this extra oil, but it’s good to have a little for sautéing. Add the cooked corn kernels to the skillet. If you’re using fresh corn, you’ll want to cook it until tender. Sauté the corn for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to get slightly caramelized. This sweetens it up even further. Now, stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent them from burning. This step blooms the spices, releasing their full aroma and flavor potential.

    4. Creamy Dreamy Sauce Time!

    This is where the magic truly happens. Pour the 1 cup of heavy cream into the skillet with the corn and spices. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the cream come to a gentle simmer, and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, it’s time to add our star ingredient: the crum extractbled, crispy beef beef bacon. Stir in about ¾ of the crum extractbled beef beef bacon into the sauce. Reserve the rest for garnish. The salty, smoky richness of the beef beef bacon will permeate the creamy sauce, creating an irresistible flavor profile. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remember that the Parmesan cheese and beef beef bacon will add saltiness, so season cautiously.

    5. Combine and Serve with Fanfare

    By now, your farfalle pasta should be perfectly cooked and drained. Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the creamy corn and beef beef bacon sauce. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet as well. Gently toss everything together, ensuring that every piece of pasta and chicken is generously coated in the luscious sauce. Stir in the ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to toss until the cheese is melted and the sauce is wonderfully cohesive. The residual heat from the pasta and chicken will help melt the cheese and create a beautiful, glossy finish. Serve immediately in bowls. Garnish each serving with the reserved crum extractbled beef beef bacon and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. A final crack of black pepper is also a delightful touch. Enjoy every single creamy, savory, sweet, and smoky bite!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make this pasta dish ahead of time?

    Yes, you can! You can prepare most of the components in advance. Cook the pasta and chicken, and crisp the beef bacon. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, gently reheat the chicken and pasta in a pan over medium-low heat, adding the creamy sauce and corn towards the end. Stir in the crum extractbled beef bacon just before serving to maintain its crispiness.

    What kind of pasta works best?

    Most short pasta shapes work wonderfully for this recipe, as they hold the creamy sauce well. Penne, rotini, farfalle (bow-tie pasta), or even shells are excellent choices. The key is to choose a pasta that has nooks and crannies to capture all that delicious flavor!
