BOW TIE PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND ASPARAGUS



Bow Tie Pasta With Sausage and Asparagus image

I'm typically not a lover of asparagus mixed with pasta but in this dish, IT ROCKS! My family appreciates a drier pasta so if yours likes things a bit saucier you may want to double the EVOO/butter to get it to your consistency. I usually love broccoli mixed in a pasta like this but the asparagus is by far the better choice!

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Use fresh asparagus, chicken, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through and tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: A good quality Parmesan cheese will have a rich and nutty flavor. Avoid using pre-shredded Parmesan cheese, as it is often made with lower-quality ingredients.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This bow ties with chicken and asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
