Wearing a bowtie is optional for dining on this restaurant-quality chicken pasta. You've got dinner in the bag in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
250 g farfalle
450 g chicken tenders
450 g asparagus, ends trimmed
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp salt
2 leeks, halved lengthwise and chopped
¾ cup 10% cream
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
¼ cup chopped fresh dill, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F, then line a baking sheet with foil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta following package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Place chicken and asparagus on prepared sheet. Toss with 1 tbsp oil and ¼ tsp salt. Roast until asparagus is tender-crisp and chicken is no longer pink, 10 to 12 min.
Heat remaining 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium. Cook leeks, stirring frequently, until soft, 8 min. Pour in cream and bring to a simmer, 2 min. Stir in Parmesan and remaining ¾ tsp salt. Add pasta and reserved pasta water.
Coarsely chop chicken and asparagus, then transfer, along with any pan juices, to pasta. Add dill, tossing to combine.
