Cook Penne pasta noodles. Bake chicken breasts while noodles are cooking. Once the noodles are done drain them. Then when the chicken breasts are done, let them cool for a few min then cut into bite size pieces. Cook your bacon and set aside to cool. Cut up your asparagus. In a skillet, heat up some olive oil and minced garlic. Add asparagus and then bacon. Cook until asparagus is tender. In a separate pot make your pesto sauce. Once everything is done, add to a big dish and mix well. Cover and bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 min @ 350 degrees. You can add fresh parm cheese if you'd like. :) ENJOY! :)
