Ingredients
2 cups farfalle*, uncooked
1 lb. fresh asparagus spears
1/2 cup orange pepper strips, halved
1/4 cup julienne-cut oil packed sundried tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
optional: 1. cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
Trim the fresh asparagus spears by snapping away from you, bending at the natural breaking point and discard the tough ends. Cut into 1 inch lengths.
Cook pasta in a large saucepan according to package directions, omitting the salt. Add the prepared asparagus spears to the boiling water for the last 2 minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus and set aside.
Cook peppers and tomatoes in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
Add the pasta mixture, broth, whipping cream, and oregano into the skillet. Mix well. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped chicken. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
