Hah, okay, maybe not. Try not to be jealous that I'm currently sitting on my front porch holding a sleeping baby.
So, today's feast is one of my favorite originals. It combines my favorite carb, veggie, and meat!
The version I made yields 2 servings.
Let's get started.
Two stalks of asparagus, cut into about one inch pieces.
Chicken. You can cheat like me and get the pre-cut, pre-cooked kind, or get raw chicken breast and cook it and cut it yourself. Both ways are delicious, it just depends on how much time you have.
Put your asparagus and chicken on a cookie sheet (I cover mine in foil for easy clean up) and coat both in olive oil and 2 seasonings:
Garlic salt and Italian seasoning. We made our own by mixing spices from a recipe on Google, but you can buy it at the grocery store.
Place the pan with our chicken and veggies in the oven on High Broil until the asparagus is soft and the chicken is cooked.
Now, boil some water for your noodles. I used spaghetti noodles this time, though in the past I've used whole wheat penne and it was delicious.
Next, for the sauce, chop about a quarter of an onion
And mix it in with a cup of pasta sauce.
I cooked mine in an iron skillet. A regular pot works just fine as well, just make sure to sauté your onions first.
I added a tiny bit of garlic for flavor
When your onions are soft and your sauce is warm, stir in your already cooked asparagus and chicken.
Pause for Ginger Beer (it doesn't have alcohol in it).
When your pasta is good and tinder like ya like it, drain it,
Put it back in the pot, stir in the sauce, and dinner is served!
Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoy this dinner as much as I do! Let me know what you think!
