Make It

COOK pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.

MEANWHILE, cook chicken in large skillet on medium heat 5 to 6 min. or until done, stirring occasionally. Add next 5 ingredients; mix well. Cook 3 min. or until Neufchatel is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.

DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add sauce; mix lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

Some cooks prefer to drain the pasta well to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce, while others like a little moisture to help prevent pasta from sticking together. In any case, reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water to add to pasta if it starts to stick together or if you want to dilute the sauce.

WE LOVED IT! I MADE TWO RECIPES AND GAVE ONE TO MY NEIGHBOR.

I omitted the water and added mushrooms, garlic salt, and oregano. I thought it ok, the husband really like it. Next time I will add more seasonings and maybe some roasted red pepper.

Pretty good. I used chicken broth instead of water for even more flavor.

Thought this was pretty good. I made it exactly as the recipe instructed. Just enough sauce, the right consistency. I'll make it again. Next time, I might add more bacon and more pepper. Easy to do.

I thought this was pretty good. I left out the 1/2 cup water, and I added a little garlic salt.

It was ok. My husband liked it more than me, I don't think I will make it again though.

This was wonderful. I used regular bowtie paste. 4 bacon slices and 4 oz cream cheese. Will definitely make this again.

Yummy & super easy to make. Used bacon bits in place of making bacon and was much easier!

Quick, easy, and great taste...what more could a gal ask for. I could not find that particular pasta but used rotini since that's what I had. I love tomatoes so I added another can of them and I used pasta water in place of the plain water. The pasta absorbed it as it sat so mine was not runny or thin as other reviewers stated. I hardly noticed the bacon so I would probably leave it out next time (or add more!)
