Como fazer Asparagus Chicken Pasta
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or tenders) into bite-sized pieces. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes.
- Remove the top 1/4 of a garlic bulb to expose the cloves.
- Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil over the garlic cloves. Place the garlic bulb on an oven-safe pan.
- Rinse 1 lb asparagus and snap off the tough bottom ends (bend the asparagus until it naturally snaps).
- Add the asparagus to the oven-safe pan with the garlic. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until asparagus is crisp-tender and garlic is browned.
- Cook 1 lb penne pasta according to package directions. Add a generous amount of salt to the pasta water. Once cooked slightly beyond al dente, drain and rinse with cool water.
- While pasta cooks, cut 8 oz fresh mozzarella into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken (reserving any pan juices), pasta, and mozzarella.
- Cut the roasted asparagus into bite-sized pieces and add to the pasta mixture.
- Remove the roasted garlic cloves from their husks and chop or mash them. Add to the pasta mixture.
- Stir in the remaining seasonings (if desired), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and the reserved chicken pan juices. Mix well and serve immediately.
