What a nice day it’s been. I was able to go to my heated yoga this morning that I love. It’s amazing how good you feel after you’re done. We won’t discuss how you feel during the class though!
After school, the boys had a picnic under the trampoline with their buddies. The weather is so beautiful, I’m sad that it’s not going to last much longer!
Don’t be afraid of the gorgonzola in the sauce, it’s very mild and gives the best flavor with the parmesan cheese. I was so proud of myself for using lowfat milk in the sauce rather than a heavy cream. I must say, it’s really good and I would have never known I used lowfat milk if I hadn’t been the one to make it.
This dinner was so good that we had it for a second night. When re-heating, make sure to add a little milk to loosen the sauce. Enjoy everyone!
Spinach and Asparagus Chicken Linguini in a Parmesan Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
12 oz uncooked linguini pasta
1 Bunch asparagus tips
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
Pinch of salt and pepper
3 Cups lowfat milk
1 ¼ Cups crumbled gorgonzola
¼ Cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 Cups baby spinach
2 medium size chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
10 strips precooked bacon, crisped and crumbled
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Sometimes when I am trying to cut out cream in dishes like this, I use nonfat evaporated milk. Can’t taste the difference!
This looks so delicious and spring-like. I’m craving some pasta now!
I love pasta too! I was thinking about making some tonight.
It looks great!
Yummy. I love gorgonzola on pasta.
Looks delicious! I love your new design.
Hmmm. I think my kiddo would actually eat all of the ingredients in that pasta dish! I love gorgonzola too. Are you working on a cookbook yet? You really should, you know!
Great tip Deborah, I’ll have to pick some up next time I’m grocery shopping.
Hi Emiline,
Enjoy your pasta night.
Thanks Rachel,
I too love gorgonzola!
Thanks Barbara
Hi Lorie,
My two young boys ate this pasta no problem, even the asparagus. I keep all of my recipes on file and would love to someday write a cookbook, we’ll see.
This looks SO delicious! I really need to make this.
Good way to hide spinach from my hubby! He loves asparagus so I’ll trick him. Definitely will try it. Where do you get your coconut cake mix for the coconut cupcakes? I haven’t seen it. Maybe use coconut flavoring in white cake mix – duh!!
That pasta looks so good! I really like a gorgonzola sauce and I like the combo with chicken, asparagus, spinach and bacon.
Holy Freakin” Yum!
Pasta, Bacon, Asparagus & Cheese……I’m in HEAVEN!
The dish is perfect – now the heated yoga – G-d save me – I did it once – couldn’t walk for days and thought I’d have to be in a body cast for the rest of my life. I’ll stick to Hatha – at least I feel like I’ll live after 75 minutes.
Nice header Jenny! Your pasta looks scrumptious!
Hey, I came across your blog some time ago, and I’ve been “lurking” for a while now. I just wanted to say that your food pictures are absolutely beautiful! You make such yummy-looking dishes, and do a great job photographing them.

I just stumbled across your blog recently. . . My ENTIRE menu for next week is all from you! Thank you!
I am SO VERY impressed that your boys will eat the food. I have one of the pickiest eaters known to mankind. . . luckily I can just blend up the veggies and hide them in the food he will eat.
I believe I read you are in AZ. . . Good luck with the heat! We just moved from Gilbert to Texas, right now I am LOVING SPRING, something that doesn’t last long there
But I definitely missed my AZ winter this year.

I made this last night for dinner and it was SO good! The whole fam loved it- even the kids (ages 1, 3 and 5). We couldn’t get enough! The only change I made was to use whole wheat fettucini.
This looks great, I love your site!
I just made this tonight and it rocks! I am so excited to find a recipe that I can find all the ingredients for in Europe. Sometimes things looks so good and then I can’t get the ingredients here. This one will be made again for sure! I have made a few of your other recipes as well and they are always a hit. Thanks for sharing.
