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:
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
  2. 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.
