Penne Pasta with Chicken and Asparagus Recipe
Asparagus is one of my favorite springtime foods. I absolutely adore it! I will eat it raw or cooked, and just love it with pasta!
This recipe for Penne with Chicken and Asparagus has been a favorite in my sister's family for a couple years. I was super excited when they made it the last time we visited them. This pasta is light and so flavorful. An instant favorite for my daughter and I! I know we will be making this in the near future! Enjoy!!
