Preparation

  • In a casserole filled with salted boiling water, cook pastas al dente. Add asparagus to the casserole 3 minutes before the end of the pastas cooking. Drain and be careful to keep 80 ml (1/3 cup) of water cooking.
  • While cooking pastas, mince pepper, zucchini and onion. Slice breast into strips.
  • In the same casserole from cooking pastas, heat oil at medium heat. Brown chicken strips for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside in a plate. In a casserole, cook onion with pepper, zucchini and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Set back chicken in the casserole and add dried tomatoes. Cook 1 minute while stirring. Add pastas and season. Add a bit of water cooking if needed, if pastas are too dry.
  • Garnish each portion with parmesan shavings and if desired pine nuts.
