Інгредієнти

¼ cup olive oil (divided)

2 pounds asparagus (trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces)

1 medium onion (coarsely chopped)

12 ounces penne pasta (gluten-free or wheat)

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)

2 cloves garlic (pressed)

Salt & pepper

½ cup chicken broth (You may need more to prevent your pot from getting dry.)

1 jar Alfredo sauce (Have an additional jar ready for reheating; the pasta gets dry when eaten as leftovers.)

½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated or slivered)

Напрямки

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Toss the asparagus and onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread on a baking sheet with raised edges. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until desired tenderness.

While the veggies are roasting, prepare 1 pound of pasta according to package directions in a 4-quart pot. Drain and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pot. Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, sauté the chicken breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. Add garlic and sauté one minute, then add chicken broth and veggies into the pot. Simmer for a few minutes but don't let the pan get dry. Add the pasta and Alfredo sauce to the pan and stir to coat everything.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
