A delicious and easy pasta bake that is full bacon ranch flavor.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
- ½ cup butter
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon, divided
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and ranch dressing mix; whisk until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk. Stir in Monterey Jack cheese; cook until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Crumble 6 slices bacon and stir into sauce.
Step 4
Combine cooked pasta and shredded chicken in a large bowl. Pour sauce on top and mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with Cheddar Jack cheese and crumble remaining 2 slices of bacon on top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 20 minutes.
