I saw this while searching for blue cheese recipes and thought it sounded too good to ignore. Ingredients:
1/2 lb farfalle pasta (bow-tie) |
6 ounces cooked chicken breasts, sliced 1/4 inch (may be grilled, poached or broiled) |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/2 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed,cut into 1-1/2 inch lengths |
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced |
1/2 cup basil leaves, loosely packed,sliced thinly |
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, rinse, drain and set aside.
2. In medium nonstick skillet, heat olive oil; add onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more; add asparagus, red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup water.
4. Cook uncovered until water evaporates and asparagus is tender, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Stir in basil, pasta, and sliced chicken; add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
6. Gently blend in blue cheese and serve immediately.
