PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS



Pasta With Chicken and Asparagus image

A delightful pasta which I clipped out of the Times about 25 years ago and it is still a great meal--just add salad, wine and dessert. Broccoli can be substituted for the asparagus; other blue veined cheeses for the gorgonzola--though the gorgonzola does melt so beautifully into the sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup basil pesto, or to taste
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Steps:
