It was a high time to show you the absolute best recipe we both love. Our Chicken Mushroom and Asparagus Spaghetti Recipe is fast, satisfying, and most of all delicious!
As we all know spaghetti is the most popular pasta. It pairs so well with any sauce, but one of the most common sauces is definitely a tomato sauce, that we used in this recipe. It gives just enough sourness to the meal to make it taste fabulous.
When we came up with this recipe, we wanted to make something different, something that will have veggies and meat, but also not to be too heavy for our stomach. This is the perfect combo, it has crunchiness from asparagus, meat, delicious mushrooms, and delicious Parmesan cheese on top. It reminds us of Italy and all the delicious meals we tried there.
