Asparagus and chicken get a home-style Italian makeover with a basil-wine sauce. Served over noodles with Parmesan cheese, it makes for a satisfying summer meal-in-a-bowl.

1 pound pasta
8 asparagus spears, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 4-ounce skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup white wine
½ cup parmesan cheese

1. Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
