How to Make Creamy Bow-Tie Pasta

Step 1

Make the pasta according to package instructions, cooking until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
Step 2

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until it is softened. Add the garlic and bell pepper and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3

Add the chicken, mozzarella, parsley, Parmesan, ricotta and black pepper to taste. Toss to combine. Add the peas. Add the cooked pasta and about 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to create a sauce. Add additional 1/4 cup of remaining pasta water, if needed. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan.
