This was sooo good. I loved the way the asparagus cooked in this. Where did you learn all these recipes you are so talented!!!!
Fabulous…followed exact instructions except needed to add extra chicken broth. Awesome recipe…will definitely try more of your recipes. Thanks
Delicious 😋, made it for the second time tonight.
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.
Asparagus quantity should be pound or bunch – not a BUSHEL!
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!
We loved this! Definitely will make again this summer 🙂
This was delicious. We loved it
This was a hit with my family. Simple and delicious.
