Chicken Bacon Pasta

Serves 4

What You'll Need:
1/2 lb. bacon
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lb. penne pasta
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 chicken breasts, grilled (can marinate in Lawry's Garlic & Herb)

What You'll Do:
1. Cook pasta, according to package directions.
2. In small saucepan, add cream cheese and heavy cream over medium-low heat until cream cheese is melted and whisk until smooth. Remove heat; add parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and whisk until blended. (Yes, you are adding raw eggs to this. The heat from the cream mixture will cook the eggs while mixing. Trust me, I've made this twice and no one has gotten sick!)
3. Drain pasta (reserving 1/2 cup hot water) and return to pot. Immediatley add the white sauce and toss to coat. Stir in bacon, and add some of the reserved hot pasta water to loosen the sauce. Top w/ grilled chicken.

*I sprinkle my chicken breasts with Pampered Chef Garlic & Herb Rub before/while grilling*
