Biaggi's Farfalle Alfredo

A chef from Biaggi's Italian Restaurant in Salt Lake City demonstrated his method for making this entree on a cooking segment of the local television news. Biaggi's menu states: Grilled chicken, bowtie pasta, roasted peppers, crispy Italian cured ham, sautéed red onions and peas tossed in our Alfredo sauce with asiago cheese. I can't wait to try this yummy dish!
