Fry bacon in a large skillet.
Drain on a paper towel to drain. Add chopped onion and garlic to the bacon grease, cook to sweat.
While they are sweating, get a pot of salted water and boil water for pasta. Add pasta to the boiling water; cook per box instructions.
When onions and garlic have softened, add in mushrooms; season with thyme, salt and pepper, to taste.
When mushrooms have softened a little, add ricotta cheese, half and half, and the bouillon cube; stir together.
If sauce is too thick, ladle in some of the pasta cooking water to thin it out a little before draining the pasta.
Add cooked pasta, chicken, and bacon to the sauce; toss together Parmesan and italian herbs.
Garnish with green onions or fresh parsley. Serve hot.
