PESTO CHICKEN & ASPARAGUS
With only five ingredients I can put a beautiful meal on the table for family or guests in very little time. I use store-bought pesto, which makes preparation quick and easy. This is a one-skillet dish, and it's also the only way I can get my 3-year-old son to eat asparagus. -Brooke Icenhour, Easley, South Carolina

Steps:
- Cut the cooked asparagus spears into thirds. Put in a food processor with the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Keep in mind you will add Parmesan as well, so be careful not to oversalt. With the machine running, slowly add the cup of olive oil. When the sauce is about the consistency of mayonnaise, it has enough oil. Pulse in the Parmesan. Thin with water, if necessary, to achieve a slick, saucy pesto. Scrape into a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate until needed. You should have about 3 cups. (Keeps about 2 to 3 days, refrigerated.)

ASPARAGUS PESTO
Making asparagus pesto lets you use the peel, which contains a ton of flavor even though it's sometimes too tough and stringy to eat. Puréeing lets you sidestep this issue: you keep the peel, and the flavor, but your food processor pulverizes the fibers, even if you use thick spears.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Add the asparagus and cook until fully tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well, reserving some of the cooking liquid, and let the asparagus cool slightly.
- Transfer the asparagus to a food processor and add the garlic, pine nuts, 2 tablespoons of the oil, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Process the mixture, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary, and gradually add the remaining oil and a bit more of the reserved cooking liquid to moisten if necessary. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste, pulse one last time, and serve over pasta, fish or chicken (or cover and refrigerate for up to a day).

Steps:
- Put the chicken breasts on a board and cover with a sheet of baking parchment. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to bash to an even thickness of about 2cm, being careful not to break the chicken into pieces.
- Combine the lemon zest, crushed garlic, olive oil and some seasoning in a medium bowl, then add the chicken and turn in the marinade to coat. Transfer to the fridge while you make the pesto.
- Toast the flaked almonds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 mins, shaking the pan often until the almonds are golden brown. Tip into a small food processor or blender. Peel the whole garlic clove and tip this into the food processor along with the parsley, basil, most of the mint leaves, the parmesan, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season, then blitz to a fine texture.
- Cook the orzo in a large pan of boiling salted water following the pack instructions, or until al dente. Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 4-5 mins on each side until cooked through with char lines. Drain the orzo and transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
- Drizzle the asparagus spears with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with salt, then griddle for 3 mins until just softened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Toss most of the pesto through the cooked orzo along with any resting juices from the chicken. The remaining pesto will keep covered in the fridge for up to five days. Slice the chicken breasts. Tip the orzo onto a large serving platter and pile the asparagus and chicken on top, then scatter with the remaining mint leaves, some parmesan shavings and a grinding of black pepper. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and serve warm.

GORGONZOLA PESTO SAUCE OVER RAVIOLI, CHICKEN & ASPARAGUS
The recipe title sounds like a tongue twister, but it is DELICIOUS! This is my attempt at recreating a dish that was served at Micheal's Cafe in Duncannon, PA by the late, great Micheal Kapp. It was my absolute favorite entree on the menu, but THE FLAVORS MAY BE OVERWHELMING TO SOME SO PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I prefer the complexity and this dish is what got me eating tomatoes AND asparagus. I hope that you enjoy. (Also, when I cook, I do not measure the ingredients so all measurements are approximate. Please adjust to you own tastes). This can also be served as a vegetarian entree by removing the meat and doubling the ravioli.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. When heated, saute chicken until no longer pink. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Cook ravioli according to package directions (or make your own according to your favorite recipe). When cooked, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. When heated, fry ravioli until golden on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large pan (I used a wok). When heated, add asparagus and saute about 5 minutes.
- After sauteing asparagus, add sun-dried tomatoes, regular tomatoes and pesto. Cook approximately 10 minutes until the asparagus feels crisp/tender when poked with a fork.
- When asparagus is crisp/tender, add the white wine. Add more or less depending on how thick you want the sauce to be.
- Let cook for approximately 5 minutes or until wine reduces by about a quarter.
- After the wine has reduced, remove the pan from the heat. Gently stir in the Gorgonzola cheese and chicken.
- Place 5 ravioli on each plate and spoon the Gorgonzola mixture over it just before serving.
- Serve with garlic bread and fresh salad.
- You can also substitute scallops or shrimp (or both!) for the chicken.
