In a bowl, mix together the bacon, garlic, ranch dressing mixes, soup, sour cream, pepper and if desired water.
Spray a large (7 quart) crockpot with cooking spray, and put in your chicken. Spread your sauce mixture on top of the chicken breasts.
Cook on either, low for 6 hours, or on high for at least 4 hours, till chicken will shred easily with a fork.
When it’s almost done, go ahead and cook your pasta according to box directions and drain.
Using 2 forks, shred (pull apart) your chicken breasts. (You can do this while it’s still in the crockpot, just be sure not to scratch your pot.
The shredded chicken combined with the sauce makes a thick and delicious topping for your pasta.
You can serve this two ways, either mix the pasta all in with the chicken mixture, or spoon chicken and sauce mixture over individual servings of pasta.
