Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups)
Ingredients
* 8 ounces uncooked long fusilli (twisted spaghetti) (we used whole wheat rotini)
* 1 3/4 cups (1 1/2-inch) slices asparagus (about 1/2 pound)
* 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/3 cup heavy cream (we used fat free half-and-half because it's what I had)
* 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* Dash of ground red pepper
* 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (we grilled 5 chicken breast tenders and chopped them up)
* Coarsely ground black pepper (optional)
* Lemon slices (optional)
Preparation
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Add asparagus during last minute of cooking time. Place peas in a colander. Drain pasta mixture over peas; set aside.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic to pan; sauté 1 minute. Combine broth and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Add broth mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool a little (so cream doesn't separate or curdle). Stir in cream, juice, salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper. Add pasta mixture to broth mixture; toss gently to coat. Stir in chicken. Garnish with coarsely ground black pepper and lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.
