This was a hit with my family. Simple and delicious.
This was delicious. We loved it
We loved this! Definitely will make again this summer 🙂
The whole family loved this! I ended up using a 12 oz box of bowtie pasta and 4 1/2 cups chicken broth and it turned out great!
Asparagus quantity should be pound or bunch – not a BUSHEL!
This turned out so good. The only thing I did differently is I thawed out some frozen spinach and put it in during the first simmer. I also always use chicken soup base mixed with water for chicken broth.
Delicious 😋, made it for the second time tonight.
