Mom Recipe

If you haven't noticed, whenever I make one of my mom's recipes they always get straight A's.  This one is no exception.  I'm so lucky my mom is such a good cook, and now you can enjoy her cooking too!

Linguine with Chicken and Asparagus
recipe from: Maureen Konieczny





This is a family favorite.  It's so good, I can never just have one helping.  I usually like to add a little extra red pepper flakes to make it spicier, but I held back so Noelle would like it.  Either way, it is delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb asparagus tips
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp (or more) red pepper flakes
  • 1 whole tomato or grape tomatoes, sliced
  • 2-3 tbs lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lb cut-up, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb linguine 
Directions:
  1. Cook linguine according to package directions.
  2. Cook asparagus in microwave until tender
  3. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Cook in olive oil until done.  remove
  4. add 3/4 c olive oil to the pan.  Cook garlic and red pepper in oil.  Add chicken, asparagus, white wine, lemon juice, and tomatoes.  Heat through.
  5. Toss with linguine and parmesan cheese 
Grades:

Megan - A+ (the white wine, lemon juice, and garlic work together to create an amazing flavor.)

Noelle - A (Noelle happily ate all of her dinner.  Pasta with a toddler is a messy dinner!)
