No other food is as comforting and filling as a pasta dish like our creamy Chicken Asparagus Pasta. It's a chicken carbonara pasta with when you add a poached egg!

INGREDIENTS

– chicken breast boneless, skinless, cooked – fettuccine pasta – pecorino cheese grated – parmesan cheese grated – asparagus stalks diced – cloves garlic

STEP 1

To bake the chicken, preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

STEP 2

In a small saucepan, add olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sliced pancetta.  Cook until crisp.

STEP 3

Add the onion to the oil in the hot saucepan and cook, and then add the diced asparagus and the garlic and cook until the garlic is lightly browned and the asparagus is a bright green.

STEP 4

Cook the pasta for 1 to 2 minutes less than what the package recommends.

STEP 5

Assembly

When pasta is cooked, put it in a large bowl.  Do not rinse the pasta.  Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
