Terrific!!! We can't wait to have this dish again. My changes were: only 1/2 lb pasta, 12oz of chicken breast, and 1/4 cup or so of butter. I wasn't sure on the balsamic vinegar with the 1/2 cup and 2T measurements, so I reduced the 1/2 cup and then put the 2T on the dish in the final mixing. The fresh rosemary cooking with the asparagus left the most awesome flavor. We will make this a lot during peak asparagus season. My 8 year olds both gave this a 5 star rating. Thanks for sharing Barb!

Great recipe!!! I used olive oil on the pasta instead butter, also add 3 garlic cloves while cooking the chicken. Thanks

Nice recipe, very easy to make. I used a bit less butter and substituted some olive oil in the sauce. I didn't have any asparagus, so I roasted some broccoli (same technique) which was lovely. Next time, I will try using a bit of chicken broth in the sauce to cut down on some more of the butter. Great flavour, I will definately try this one again and re-review. thanks, dee

This dish was perfect! My husband and kids loved it. The balance between balsamic vinagar and brown sugar is perfect. It was easy to make I had all of the ingredients on hand so it quick too.

This was a pleaser. I made it for Mother's Day dinner and the adults really liked it. The kids were so-so on their reviews. I took it to work today for lunch, and it was just as tasty cold as it was hot. I'll be making this again!

I had a hard time getting anyone to try this because of the appearance! It wasn't very pretty. The taste was okay, but there were a lot of leftovers and there was nothing exceptional about the dish. So sorry.

OUTSTANDING RECIPE!! My husband asked I make it once/month or more.I used 1 T brown sugar,used healthier margarine opposed to butter.I also added sauted fresh mushrooms and garlic along with couple dashes of cayenne pepper.I also used penne that is protein and fiber enriched.Wheat would be healthier as well.

I really liked it but my husband and son thought it was to vinegary. I might make it again for friend.
