2 cups penne pasta, uncooked
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 cup thin onion slices, separated into rings
1 tsp. sugar
1-1/2 cups chopped plum tomatoes
2 cups cut-up grilled chicken (1-inch pieces)
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup diagonally cut asparagus spears (1-inch pieces)
1/4 cup whipping cream
4 tsp. minced fresh garlic
1 pkg. (4 oz.) Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
cook pasta as directed on package.
Heat oil in small skillet on medium heat. Add onions and sugar; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until onions are tender. Remove from heat; set aside.
Drain and rinse pasta. Place in large skillet. Add tomatoes; cook on medium heat 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add chicken, broth, asparagus, cream and garlic; mix well. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Add onions, cheese and basil; mix well. Cook 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
*tip-The recipe calls to add the tomatoes and cook for a few minutes-I usually hold them off or they get mushy and lose flavor. I would add them in at the last minute!

ENJOY WITH GOOD BREAD & WINE! :)
This is delicious, simple to make & doesn't take a ton of time. I've made it for guests and it's been a hit. I would recommend extra gorgonzola cheese & also sprinkling fresh parmesan on the top for extra flavor.
