Asparagus Pasta

I made a dish and actually remembered to take a picture. Isn't it amazing??


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 cup chopped asparagus
6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cloves garlic
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with herbs, including juice
1 oz. soft goat cheese, crumbled (I use feta)
1 T. Parmesan cheese

Directions

Fill large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to boil. add the pasta and cook until al dente 10-12 min. Drain and set aside.

Steam asparagus 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp

Spray large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray. Add the chicken and garlic and saute over medium-high heat. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 to 7 min. Add the tomatoes, including their juice, and simmer 1 min more.

In a large bowl, add the pasta, steamed asparagus, chicken mixture and goat cheese. Toss gently to mix evenly.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on each serving. Serve warm.
