Grilled Chicken and Asparagus Pasta

Inspired by the asparagus and crimini mushrooms at our farmer’s market, my whole family gobbled this dish up.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

40 minutes

I generally use angel hair or fettuccine noodles with this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed grilled chicken breasts
  • 1 pound asparagus, cut into bite size pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 pound crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp margarine
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 pound noodles

Instructions

Saute onion, asparagus, and garlic in olive oil over medium low flame. (If necessary, cook chicken at this time as well.) Once onion is golden brown and asparagus is softened, add mushrooms.

Meanwhile cook noodles as directed on package, drain. Add margarine, cream cheese, evaporated milk, and seasoning and spices to asparagus mixture. Stir to combine and melt margarine and cream cheese. Simmer over low flame for 15 minutes. Pour skillet mixture into saucepan with noodles, stir to combine. If needed, use cornstarch and water to thicken sauce prior to combining with noodles.
