PREPARATION
To make the sauce: Heat cream to very hot and just bubbly (but not a boil). Add chicken base and cheese. Stir constantly with a wire whip and bring temperature back to just bubbly. Dissolve cornstarch in the cold water and add to sauce. Bring to a slow simmer to cook out starch. Transfer sauce to a container, cover and refrigerate until needed.
To make the pasta dish: Sauté red onion in butter for a few seconds then add pancetta and garlic. Add chicken, green onions and pasta. Deglaze the pan with the cream. Add asiago cream sauce. Heat thoroughly. Garnish with parsley and serve.
