- 1 lb. Spaghetti Pasta
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Bundle of Fresh Asparagus usually 1 pound, cut into pieces
- 1 Onion diced
- 1.5-2 lbs. Boneless Chicken Breast cut into cubes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 3 c Prepared Alfredo Sauce
- 1 c Shredded Italian Blend Cheese
Cook spaghetti according to directions. My general rule of thumb when cooking pasta is about 16 cups of water with a generous pinch of kosher salt. Bring water to a boil and add pasta, cook for 10 minutes. Drain well.
Preheat oven to 350℉
While you're waiting for the pasta water to boil, and while the pasta cooks, prepare the chicken and asparagus for the dish. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium high heat. Next, add the cubed chicken to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until nearly cooked through. Next, add the cut asparagus and diced onion to the skillet. Add the seasonings to the skillet and give everything a stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are tender and the asparagus is cooked but still has a slight crunch.
Combine the cooked pasta and chicken mixture. Add Alfredo sauce to the spaghetti and chicken mixture. Stir to combine everything together and pour into a casserole dish.
Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 25 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
