Chicken and Asparagus Pasta

I found this recipe a few days ago and wanted to try it. I’m usually a heavy sauce and pasta kinda girl, so this “healthier” alternative was a nice change to my usual meat sauce.

Like Cris, I tweaked the recipe a little. Instead of penne, I used spinach ravioli that I picked up from Costco that I was dying to try. Instead of parmesan, I used mozzarella-cheddar since it was already pre-shredded and in my fridge. I also seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper and a lot of lemon. I grew up with food that was cooked in very little salt. That was just how my mother prepared meals, but as I started cooking for myself, I was told constantly by friends that my food was – gulp – bland. So, I started cooking with a little more salt until I found a good balance of flavour and healthy.
