Asparagus, Chicken, and Pecan Pasta
Recipe by Julie Ledford
"Penne pasta tossed with asparagus, red peppers, pecans, and Parmesan cheese in a delicious sauce that is creamy without being over-powering. This has been a tremendous hit every time I've made it."
Ingredients:
-
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 red bell pepper, chopped
-
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, red pepper, and asparagus; cook and stir 5 minutes until the garlic softens and mellows. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until the vegetables have softened, then add the basil, salt, pepper, butter, and chicken. Cook and stir a few minutes until the chicken is hot. Stir in the cooked pasta, then fold in the Parmesan cheese and pecan halves to serve.
