Asparagus and Chicken Pasta recipe
Asparagus and chicken get a home-style Italian makeover with a basil-wine sauce. Served over pasta with Parmesan cheese, it makes for a satisfying summer meal-in-a-bowl.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pasta, penne or any type you like
- 8 asparagus spears, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 4-ounce skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Directions:
Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring. Add asparagus and basil and cook until softened, 3 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, and wine; bring to a boil over high heat, reduce, and simmer until liquid is almost gone and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add reserved pasta and the parmesan cheese to skillet; toss to coat and serve immediately.

Made this tonight... my husband gave it an 8 out of 10 and my daughters ate it up! I added more asparagus and used 1/3 cup wine. Yummy recipe!
I've made a lot of the recipes on AsparagusRecipes.net and this is one of my favorites! Definite 5 stars and will be making again and again.
I used fresh basil chopped with a hachoir.
This was very good. I blanched the asparagus before cooking it to make sure it wasn't overcooked. Very yummy.
Pretty darn good! I added extra asparagus so I should have put a little extra wine and salt in. Other than that it's really good!
