PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS



Pasta With Chicken and Asparagus image

A delightful pasta which I clipped out of the Times about 25 years ago and it is still a great meal--just add salad, wine and dessert. Broccoli can be substituted for the asparagus; other blue veined cheeses for the gorgonzola--though the gorgonzola does melt so beautifully into the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh tarragon, asparagus, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Asparagus should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality pasta. A good quality pasta will hold its shape and not become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, asparagus, and pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
