Also, do what I do when I cook pasta. Cook the whole package and store what you don't need in a covered container in the fridge.
Use it within 5 days, and it's like freshly cooked.
Just plunge it into some boiling water for a couple of minutes then drain.
The flavors in this chicken dish are delicious—bacon, onion, and garlic. Then there's the umami of cream and Parmesan.

Ingredients
7 ounces spaghetti or other pasta as you prefer
8-10 slices of bacon, diced and fried
2/3 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups cooked chicken, cut up
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
1/2 heavy cream
Directions
1. Cook the pasta or refresh already cooked pasta.
2. Fry the bacon, stirring frequently, until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towel Then pour off the rendered fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the frying pan.
3. Saute the onion and garlic in the bacon fat about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently until it is cooked but not brown. Letting garlic brown makes it bitter.
4. Stire in the chicken, pasta, parmesan, and cream.
5. Cook over medium heat until heated through.
6. Toss the bacon into the pan and mix the rest of the ingredients.
