Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the bow tie pasta; return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season chicken with lemon pepper.
- Melt the margarine with the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the chicken pieces until no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken pieces, and place them in the bottom of a casserole dish.
- To the same skillet, add the garlic, white wine, sour cream, basil, lemon zest, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove the skillet from the heat; stir in the pasta. Spoon the pasta and sauce mixture over the chicken. Cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, spinach, and drizzle with the remaining lemon juice. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil and lemon zest. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have lemon zest, you can use 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract, but again, the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have bowtie pasta, you can use any other short pasta shape, such as penne or rotini.
- To make the dish more flavorful, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of olive oil to the sauce.
- If you're looking for a vegetarian dish, you can omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini.
Conclusion:
Basil lemon bowties is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of basil, lemon, and garlic is always a winner, and the bowtie pasta provides a fun and unique twist.
