This is a wonderful summer dish that’s not only delicious, it is really easy and quick! Linguine sauteed with snow peas and asparagus, in a light lemon herb wine sauce and topped with herb pan-grilled chicken.
I absolutely loved this dish and how flavorful it comes out for being so simple!
There are a few secrets that made this linguine dish so full of flavor. First of all, when I cooked pasta, I made sure to salt water and add some of this Herbes De Provence seasoning to the water while waiting on it to boil. This infuses pasta with herb flavor while cooking it. I normally cook my pasta in seasoned water (whatever best goes with the recipe) and I highly recommend you try it as well.
Second, I used the same pan to cook the chicken, then the veggies and then to saute linguine with the veggies. After the chicken is all cooked, there is a lot of flavor left in the pan and deglazing it with wine and cooking veggies in it gets all that wonderful browned chicken flavor in the sauce and veggies, and subsequently pasta.
Of course, lemon and herb combination is a great flavor in itself.
