Preparing Your Mise en Place & Cooking the Pasta
To start, cook the pasta according to the package.
Heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil followed by the Chick’n. Toss and allow the Chick’n to cook for a few minutes, or until it has nicely caramelized on all sides.
Next add the onions and let cook for a minute, then deglaze with the white wine. Allow the wine to reduce by about half and then add the stock.
Add the non-dairy butter and mix to combine. Add the broccoli and allow it to cook for 2 minutes in the sauce. Next add the peas and asparagus. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and add the chili flakes and gently toss to combine.
Once the green vegetables have become vibrant in color and fork-tender, add the cooked pasta and fold everything together, evenly coating the pasta with the sauce.
