- 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or less if you don't want the heat)
- 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 (I marinated the chicken in Lawry's Garlic & Herb marinade)
Preparation
Step 1
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.

I made this with pan seared chicken and added steamed broccoli. It was WONDERFUL! Best dinner we have had in a long time.
I just made this and it was FABULOUS! I,too, was scared of the raw eggs. I doubled the entire recipe as we like leftovers. I also added broccoli. Everything turned out perfect and very tasty. I did not add the left over 1/2c of noodle water and wished I had. It got really thick. When we warm it up I will add a little milk or water to thin it out! Thanks for the recipe!
Katie - I haven't tried the recipe without the eggs. If you try it without the eggs, add a little more cream.
Made this for dinner, it was fantastic! I sautéed some red, yellow and mushrooms as well, yummy! Is a new addition to our dinner table :).
Just made this tonight.. I didn't have cream so I just used skim milk and added a bit more cream cheese. I sautéed the chicken with a little ranch powder and everything turned out delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
What brand is the heavy cream? I know I sound slow lol just trying to make sure it comes out perfect!

Cabt wait to try My friend added broccoli and spinach. .. gonna use her recipe she also added more cheese and bacon.
HOMERUN! While trying to find something to make with the chicken breasts I had thawed, I found this post. I didnt want to go to the store so I improvised. No heavy cream, used evaporated milk. Scared of raw eggs too but still chose to try it. It was a hit! Everyone loved it. It has been added to our dinner rotation. I can't wait to try it again but mix it up. Possibilities are endless. Thanks!
you could always rub the chicken with some salt, pepper and EVOO and bake in the oven. It will have a nice roasted taste and it works well when adding cooked chicken to a dish.
I make this a least twice a month now and use a whole box of pasta and just double the ingredients for the sauce.
This was to die for and made allot... I will defiantly make this again! Thank you for sharing :)
