Lemon, Garlic, and Asparagus Warm Caprese Pasta Salad

"There are so many reasons I love this recipe. Caprese salad has to be one of my favorite summertime treats. There is nothing like a summer tomatoes' sweetness mixed with the peppery sweetness fresh basil offers, the zing of lemon and richness of garlic. It is SO good."

Ingredients :

1 pound mezze (short) penne pasta
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more to taste
1/2 large shallot, minced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 large grilled chicken breast, sliced thinly and halved (optional)
1 roma (plum) tomato, diced
8 leaves fresh basil, torn

Instructions :

Prep : 20M	Cook : 6M	Ready in : 40M

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
Place asparagus into a saucepan, add a little water, and place over medium heat; cover pan and let asparagus steam until bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Heat olive oil with butter and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts; cook and stir shallot in hot oil and butter mixture until it just begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir garlic into shallot mixture and cook until shallot and garlic are opaque, 3 more minutes. Stir asparagus and chicken into mixture; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Toss pasta with chicken and vegetables to combine; mix tomato and basil into salad and serve warm.

Notes :

There are so many options with this dish. Many vegetables would taste fantastic added to the mix; broccoli would be awesome. I'd love to hear the different combinations you come up with.
