by lindsay clements

This was a pantry clearer that turned out fabulous.

Ingredients:

• 1 package rigatoni (you can use penne as well)
• 2 large chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 tblsp olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 lb bacon crumpled
• 1/4 cup blue cheese
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tblsp butter
• 1 tblsp flour

While bringing your pasta to a boil, crisp up and crumple the bacon. Cook the chicken in a skillet with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. In a sauce pan, melt the butter and add the flour to make the rue. Then add the milk and cream. Let simmer for 5 minutes whisking constantly until it begins to thicken. Stir in the blue cheese. Remove pasta from water and stir in the bacon, chicken and sauce. Top with some Parmesan. Don't you just love when an unplanned dinner turns out so good? Enjoy.
