Chicken-Asparagus Penne

Got home late and tired yet again. The conversation went something like this:  What's for supper, hon?  I dunno.  Well, there's that asparagus sitting in the window, it's almost ready to be thrown out. What can we do with that?  Well, we can cook up some pasta. Wow that's exciting, asparagus and pasta!  OK ok, well there's this leftover frozen chicken in the freezer, already cooked from that meal last week, we can add that in with some tomato sauce. Hmmm, well that's starting to sound a bit better...

Chicken-Asparagus Penne

So that's what we did. While the penne was boiling, fried up some asparagus with a tiny bit of oil, some lemon juice, and a fresh diced garlic clove. We have this lemon-pepper seasoning (basically lemon + salt + pepper), that went on as well.  Threw in the chicken, some tomato sauce. Voila. Oh yeah, freshly shaved reggiano parmigiano... I think SO liked this much better than I did. Asparagus is not actually my favourite veggie, and tomato sauce is not my fav pasta sauce. We have a recipe we do fairly often I'll detail another time - basically has shrimp, feta, and lots of basil. No sauce, just a tiny bit of oil. Very awesome.

Next Time: Well, I'd use a different tomato sauce or pasta, but SO thought it was good.
