Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz spaghetti
2 cups asparagus , 1 inch slices (about 3/4 lb)
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup dry vermouth
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (2 oz, freshly grated )
3 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions:

Cook pasta in boiling water 10 minutes or until al dente; add asparagus during final 2 minutes of cooking.
At this point, if you don't already have pre cooked chicken, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on each side. Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet, and sautee breasts 5 minutes on each side, or until done. Chop chicken into bite sized pieces, and set aside.
Drain pasta mixture in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/3 cup cooking liquid.
Combine reserved cooking liquid, egg substitute, and milk, stirring with a whisk.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and onion to pan; sauté 2 minutes.
Add vermouth; cook 1 minute.
Add cooked pasta and asparagus mixture; stir to combine.
Remove from heat; stir in milk mixture, chicken, and cheese.
Place pan over medium heat, and cook 4 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Do not let it scorch.
Remove from heat; stir in parsley, salt, pepper, and bacon. Serve immediately.
