Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound asparagus (washed and trimmed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (I used 1% (but any milk will work))
1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste ( about 1/2 teaspoon salt (1/4 teaspoon black pepper))
12 ounce box of whole grain farfalle pasta (or any shape pasta you prefer)
8 ounces cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
1.5 ounces Julienne cut sun-dried tomatoes (half of a 3 ounce bag - I used California Sun Dry brand (FYI))

Steps:

  • Fill the saute pan about an inch deep with tap water, and bring to a boil.
  • Add asparagus to the pot and boil for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the asparagus (tongs may be helpful), and put it in the ice bath to stop the cooking; set aside.
  • Start a separate pot of water to boil to cook your pasta per package instructions.
  • Wipe dry the pan you just cooked the asparagus in, return to stovetop and put the olive oil in it.
  • Turn the heat to low to preheat the pan for about 1-2 minutes, then add the minced garlic.
  • Cooks the garlic (should hear a light sizzle) on low for about 1.5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour, and stir to combine for about a minute.
  • Slowly add the milk, whisking to break up any lumps.
  • Add the salt and pepper, and increase the heat a little to medium, continuing to whisk until the milk starts boiling.
  • Reduce heat back down to low (maintain a light boil/ simmer), and whisk often for about 5 minutes, until thick.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese, and remove from heat.
  • Cook your pasta according to package instructions, and reserve at least 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water prior to draining your finished pasta.
  • Remove the asparagus from the ice water, and chop into bite size chunks.
  • Toss the drained pasta, chicken, asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes with the sauce in the pan you cooked the sauce in.
  • If you need to loosen up the sauce a little bit, add some of the reserved pasta water, a couple tablespoons at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency.
  • Optional: garnish with fresh basil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh Parmesan cheese, garlic, and pasta are essential.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is the best choice for this dish.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water before draining. This water can be used to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • Saute the garlic in butter until fragrant, but not brown. Browning the garlic will make it bitter.

  • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  • Stir in the cooked pasta and serve immediately.
