Alfredo with Chicken and Asparagus and it's Safe!

I am a huge fan of pasta. I am even a bigger fan of quick, easy and tasty pasta! One day whie par-rousing the g free isle at Raleys, I came across a gem...

Items needed:

1 packet of simply organic pasta

1 package of tinkyada brown rice linguine

1-2 organic chicken breasts, cubed

1 bundle of organic asparagus

grass fed butter

organic 1% milk

shredded paresian cheese

minced garlic

garlic salt

olive oil

salt and pepper if desired

Add butter, milk, parmesian cheese and stir! Sweet! How easy is that? I like to kick things up a notch. That's how I roll. So, enter in oganic chicken and asparagus and garlic...perhaps some bacon bits too? Bacon makes everything better. 

First I saute the chicken in olive oil with minced garlic. I like to buy the garlic already minced and in a jar. Makes life so much easier!

Once the chicken is cooked, I put it in a bowl and set it off to the side. Next up, organic asparagus. I cut the aspargus and add it to the pan I cooked the chicken in. I like to saute my asparagus in olive oil with, of course, garlic and I add a pinch of salt.  I don't like asparagus mooshy...so I cook it until it's slightly tender, but mostly firm. For a gas stove on medium heat, its around 6 or 7 minutes.

While the sauting of things is happening, be sure to fix the pasta. I have tried a few brands of pasta, including the quinoa pasta. Meh. I have found this gem...

 

They have a lenguine pasta that I use for the alfredo. I was currently out, so I used their spaghetti pasta. Just as delicious. The thing I really like about this pasta is that the pasta does not turn into moosh the next day...and it tastes great! The hubs said it tastes like the real deal. As a non-g free person, it has got to taste great or he won't eat it. Me either for that matter.

Back to the asparagus...once it's cooked to your desired firmness, add it to the cooked chicken and set of to the side.

I use the same pan for the sauce as I used for the chicken and asparagus. It not only adds flavor to the sauce, but it's less to clean up. 

For the sauce: I use organic, 1% milk, grass fed butter and shredded parmesian. Follow the directions on the packet. After the cheese is melted, I add the chicken and asparagus, some more garlic and bacon bits if I have any in the house. Stir till everything is heated through. 

After draining the pasta, immediately serve.

Super tasty, super quick and super healthy. Bonappetite
