A light but tasty pasta dish, with fresh asparagus cooked in stock with sauteed garlic and seasoned chicken.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

1 (500g) packet dried penne pasta
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets - cubed
salt and pepper to taste
125ml chicken stock
1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 2.5cm pieces
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
50g grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation method

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
2. Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir in chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Set chicken aside.
3. Pour chicken stock into the pan. Then stir in asparagus, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover, and steam until the asparagus is just tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Return chicken to the pan, and warm through.
4. Stir chicken mixture into pasta, and mix well. Let sit about 5 minutes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, stir again, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

    It was quick and easy to prepare. I only used half a pack of pasta though to go with the sauce
