We loved this!  NOT healthy, but oh so good :)

1 pkg. bow tie pasta
1/2 c. butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1-2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pint heavy cream
s&p to taste
10-15 spears asparagus, blanched *see note
1/2 c bacon, crumbled
1/2 c. toasted pinenuts (I omitted this)

Parmesan cheese to taste

1.  Boil pasta; al dente. DO NOT OVERCOOK
2.  I n a heavy pot melt butter.  Add garlic and saute a minute or so
3. Add parmesan cheese and bouillon cubes.  When it is completely dissolved, slowly stir in the cream and s&p. 
4.  Add cooked pasta to cream sauce and toss until pasta is well covered.  Add asparagus.
5. Sprinkle with bacon.
6. Serve immediately



*Heat a pot of water to boil.  Break the bottoms off of the asparagus and put in pot.  Cook until the asparagus turns bright green (anywhere from 3-5 minutes)
**We have added chicken to this.
