1

Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
2

In large bowl, mix chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, the cooked pasta, Alfredo sauce and 1/2 cup of the bacon. Set aside.
3

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in centre. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
4

Spoon chicken mixture on the half of each rectangle closest to centre of ring.
5

Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little). In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic. Brush on top of dough ring.
6

Bake 19 to 23 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over top. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup bacon on top of melted cheese. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into slices.

Expert Tips

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cooked pasta!
Try cooking bacon in the oven! It’s quick, and there is little mess. Heat oven to 400°F. Place bacon slices on rack placed on foil-lined cookie sheet with sides. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until desired doneness. Drain well on paper towels.
