Reminiscent of a pasta salad, this recipe coats rotini and colorful vegetables with a basil-flecked balsamic vinaigrette. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked rotini (corkscrew pasta) |
cooking spray |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup (1-inch) slices asparagus |
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and asparagus to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic to pan; sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in pasta, basil, vinegar, and oil. Arrange 2 cups pasta mixture on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese.
