How to Make Pasta With Chicken Asparagus Prosciutto Or Bacon

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add prosciutto (or bacon) to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese, reserved pasta water, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  8. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
