Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package instructions or until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook the pasta. Turn off the heat and reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander and let it cool for 1 minute.
- Transfer pasta into a large mixing bowl and add pesto, mascarpone cheese, lemon juice and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water (add up to 1/2 cup more if desired). Stir in cherry tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Top with fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, some dollops of pesto, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- On low heat, add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan and cook garlic until translucent. Pour into bowl of food processor or mini blender.
- Add everything but the basil leaves and salt to the bowl of a food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Add the basil leaves and blend again. Taste, add salt as necessary and mix again, taste and adjust more if needed. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, 4 quarts or 2 litres per pound. You want plenty of water - pasta needs to move around or it will become mushy. If you do not have a large pot, use two small ones.
- Add a generous amount of salt (about 1/4 cup) - or a general rule is one heaping tablespoon for each cup of water. The water should be "slightly less salty than the sea."
- Add the preferred pasta shape to the water. Set a timer for 5 minutes and then taste every 30 seconds until properly cooked. You want the pasta l dente (slightly chewy and less resistant to the bite).
- Before removing pasta, take a mug full of the pasta water to use later in the sauce. The starch from the water helps bind the sauce to the pasta.
- Remove immediately and drain.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, place the pesto and gently heat. Add the mascarpone and few tablespoons of the pasta water, mix together well.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss well, coating all pieces and adding more of the starchy water if necessary.
- Scoop pasta into a large serving bowl or individual bowls, sprinkle with some extra cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes that have been tossed with a little salt and olive oil.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cooled.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir crumbled bacon and onion in the hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken into mixture and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink inside and lightly browned outside, about 10 minutes.
- Stir sun-dried tomatoes and pesto in a large skillet over medium heat until pesto gives off a little oil, about 2 minutes; stir in spinach and cook until wilted, stirring constantly.
- Mix mascarpone cheese, 2 cloves of garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, milk, and white pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until smooth and bubbling, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes; stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and bacon mixture.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Gently fold pasta into chicken mixture and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with spinach mixture and sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon Parmesan cheese, or to taste.
