Creamy Bowtie Asparagus Pasta
Creamy Bowtie Asparagus Pasta is, in my humble opinion, one of the very best pasta dishes I have ever tasted. This pasta dish was actually served to us at our wedding luncheon, and I loved it so much! Next to marrying the love of my life, this pasta was probably one of the best things about that day. People who were at our wedding STILL talk about it. So of course, I had to find the recipe. I contacted our caterer and begged her for the recipe. She was kind enough to share it with me and is allowing us to share it here on Favorite Family Recipes. We eat this several times a year, but always at a special dinner on our anniversary, along with our Anniversary Paprika Chicken, which was also served at our wedding luncheon. This meal reminds me of happy times, love, and of course, delicious food.

Bowtie pasta is our favorite pasta shape for this recipe but you could substitute ziti, penne, or even spaghetti noodles.Heavy cream. Is this the healthiest recipe? Nope! But everything in moderation, right? You can use half-and-half as a substitute for the heavy cream, which we do a lot of the time. But if you’re going to have a bowl of pasta, have a bowl of pasta!Asparagus. This vibrant, mild veggie is one of my favorites and really pops against the heavy ingredients in this recipe. Fresh is best, but you could also substitute frozen asparagus too.Pine Nuts give this recipe a unique crunch and flavor that is made even better when you toast them in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to the recipe.Bacon. This savory meat just makes any recipe better! You can use pre-cooked bacon pieces or cook your own strips and chop it up.Lots of Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley make this sauce so yummy, savory and delicious!Add grilled chicken to this recipe to make it a complete meal.
