Penne with Roasted Asparagus and Balsamic Butter
This is another Pinterest Recipe (what did I do before Pinterest!) that was originally from Food and Wine. This was really easy to make, although I used a bunch of pans. I ended up cooking some chicken to cut and go with this because Bill always says my veggie pasta dishes can always use chicken. This was really lite and super delicious. I really liked the flavor or the oven roasted asparagus with pasta. I preferred it without chicken and Bill liked it with Chicken. I will definitely make this again!
