Chicken and Asparagus Pasta

Serves

Ingredients

1.	Add olive oil to a large frying pan then add the pancetta and chicken. Cook until the chicken is cooked and starting to brown, and the pancetta is crispy
2.	Cut the hard ends off the asparagus, then cut each spear into about 4 bite size pieces
3.	Cook the dried pasta in boiling salted water as per packet instructions. For the last ten minutes add in the asparagus
4.	Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the chicken and pancetta and set to one side
5.	Add in the flour and stir until its well mixed with the fats in the pan. Allow to cook for a minute or two. Add in the milk a little at a time and whisk between each addition removing all lumps
6.	Add in the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste, but be wary of using too much salt as the pancetta is salty
7.	Add the chicken and pancetta back into the sauce, then add in the pasta and asparagus. Stir everything until combined. Serve with fresh focaccia
