CHICKEN SPAGHETTI WITH WHITE SAUCE
This cheesy white sauce is perfect for any pasta but works best with spaghetti or cavatappi. I favor butcher bacon as it's the best bacon on the planet! Kids attacked the leftover pasta and ate the bacon and sun-dried tomatoes before I was able to get a photo!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and a liberal amount of salt to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large serving bowl. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.
- While pasta is cooking, coat chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Add bacon to the same pan and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut into small pieces.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes to the bacon fat and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken and bacon and reduce heat to just above a simmer. Stir in milk and cornstarch. Add chicken broth, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese; stir and simmer until well mixed and cheeses have melted.
- Slowly add 1/2 cup pasta water to the sauce; stir and allow the sauce to thicken up to desired consistency, adding more pasta water as needed. Pour sauce over pasta to serve.

PASTA WITH CHICKEN IN A LIGHT WHITE WINE AND FRESH HERB SAUCE
This is a fresh, light meal that is great for the warmer times of year. The sauce is not thick or heavy but coats the pasta for an even flavour. The choice of herbs here is merely what I have found to work well but please adjust to your family's tastes! The herbs should be fresh though- dried herbs will not give the same result. The fresh basil really brings out the flavours in this dish. UPDATE: In light of a review, I have tried this dish again and increased the liquid ingredients in the recipe to provide more sauce. It is important in this recipe to include the stock cube as there is something in it that thickens the sauce. If you must leave it out, add an alternative thickening agent.

- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not dry. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the wine and chicken broth to the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This will add flavor to the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pasta with the chicken and sauce immediately.
