Creamy chicken and asparagus pasta. How to make Chicken and Asparagus Pasta: Start by cooking the pasta in boiling water. I add the asparagus towards the end, so that it can cook in the boiling water and I don't have to dirty another pan. This chicken bacon pasta is perfectly creamy and it has just the right amount added flavor from the Parmesan, Neufchatel cheese and the garlic.
A couple weeks ago I was in Las Vegas at a conference, learning all the things, but really just wanting to eat all the things.
There's a vegetarian version of this recipe on the site already that uses broccoli, my Easy Fettuccine Alfredo With Broccoli, and is perfect for Meatless Mondays, but this chicken version is my favorite way to eat creamy, cheesy fettuccine noodles, with fresh asparagus and lean chicken breast.
Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
