Chicken and Farfalle Pasta in a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel away the outer layers of the heads of garlic, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Cut off 1/2" of the top of the cloves. Place the heads of garlic in a muffin pan, drizzle olive oil over the cut tops of the garlic. Use your fingers to make sure the heads are well coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it. Use a small knife to loosen the skin around each clove and then squeeze from the bottom end and release the garlic from their cloves. Use a knife to mash or mince the garlic. Set aside..

Place in a baking dish and roast chicken for 30 minutes or until just cooked throuh. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Cut the chicken in to bite size pieces and set aside..
3. While the chicken is cooking, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the chopped pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease. Set aside..
4. In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and saute on medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated. Then add the chopped onions and saute over medium heat until they are carmelized, as are the mushrooms..
5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan by adding the wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to release the brown bits (extra flavor). Bring wine to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by half..
