Pasta With Asparagus and Lemon

List of Ingredients





I love this, and I'm making for dinner - yummm!

Pasta w/Chicken, Asparagus and Lemon

1 lb gemelli pasta, cooked
2 chicken breast halves
3 good sized garlic cloves, minced
Juice and zest of 3 lemons
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut in 1 inch pieces
2 tbl olive oil
1 cup fresh grated parmesan

Heat oven to 450. Cut chicken into small pieces and saute w/small amount of oil and a
little of the garlic.
While this is cooking, combine asaragus, 2 tbl of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Put
in 13 x 9 glass pan and roast for about 10 minutes or until crisp tender. Remove from
oven. Put cooked chicken aside and in same pan and the 1/2 cup olive oil and remaining
garlic. Cook until sizzling, but don't brown garlic. Add the juice and zest of lemons and
cook for a few minutes. In large serving bowl put hot pasta, chicken, asparagus and
sauce. Add cheese and mix well. Serve w/more cheese. I usually add about 1-2 tbl of
butter also to pasta mixture.
