    Copycat Cheesecake Factory’s Farfalle With Chicken and Roasted Garlic

    The Cheesecake Factory’s farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic is a colorful and flavorful dish with tender chicken, smoky pancetta, and plenty of vegetables. The garlic and Parmesan sauce adds a garlicky saltiness that absorbs into the pasta.

    The cooking method is similar to making fettuccine alfredo. You need to cook the chicken and bacon, and other ingredients in a skillet or a large Dutch oven. Then, you add the cooked pasta and toss everything together until combined.

    By cooking all of your ingredients in the same skillet, you infuse all of the ingredients with the taste of chicken and bacon fat. Meanwhile, the heavy cream and cheese add a creaminess that coats the pasta.

    Here is how to make the perfect copycat version of the Cheesecake Factory’s farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic.

    How to Roast the Garlic:

    1. Preheat your oven to 400 F (205 C).
    2. Remove the papery peel from the whole garlic head but leave the skins on cloves and the head intact.
    3. Cut about ¼ to ½ inches off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves.
    4. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil with the cut side facing down.
    5. Bake at 400 F (205 C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are brown and soft.
    6. Remove them from the oven and let them cool before removing them from the head of the garlic.

    Allow the garlic cloves to cool enough so you can touch them without hurting your fingers. Use a small knife to cut the skin around each clove, and using a fork or your fingers, pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

    Set them aside to use in this recipe of other dishes.

    3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over high heat.

    5. Once the chicken breasts are cooked through, remove them from the heat and set them aside.

    More Tips To Make Better Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic recipe:

    1. Cook the chicken breast, bacon, and veggies in the same skillet, which will allow everything to flavor each other.
    2. You can use fat-free half and half instead of heavy cream.
    3. Use extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
    4. You can add bell pepper slices to the pasta by cooking them in butter then adding them at the end to ensure they don’t overcook.
    5. Cheddar cheese will also work well in this dish.
    6. Try to cook the exact amount needed for this recipe, as pasta with cream doesn’t doesn’t hold well in the fridge.

    How to Store Farfalle With Chicken and Roasted Garlic

    Farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic will last in the fridge for about 3 to 5 days. To do so, simply store it in airtight glass containers. Try to avoid eating it after 5 days.

    I recommend that you do not store the pasta for more than 3 days in the fridge.

    How to Reheat Farfalle With Chicken and Roasted Garlic

    In the Oven:

    In this method of reheating farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic, simply spread your leftover pasta out evenly on a baking tray and bake it at 350 F for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. This will give you evenly heated pasta and some nice crispy bits of toasted deliciousness.

    On the Stove:

    You can also reheat farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic in a skillet on the stove. Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil or less in the skillet and then add your pasta and cook it for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until heated through.

    Freezing farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic is not recommended.
