Tips:

  • Choose tender asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have woody ends.
  • Roast the asparagus before adding it to the pasta. Roasting the asparagus brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Plus, it helps prevent the asparagus from becoming overcooked when it's added to the pasta.
  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard. The Dijon mustard is key to the flavor of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a Dijon mustard that is grainy and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the asparagus and chicken to the pasta at the end of cooking. This will help prevent the asparagus and chicken from overcooking.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Asparagus Dijon Chicken Fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The roasted asparagus and tangy Dijon mustard sauce add a lot of flavor to the dish, and the chicken and pasta make it a hearty and satisfying meal. If you're looking for a new pasta recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
