Asiago Chicken Pasta

Cooking Asiago Chicken Pasta is all about indulging in creamy, cheesy decadence combined with tender chicken and savory herbs. The rich, nutty flavor of Asiago cheese creates a bold base that pairs beautifully with a medium-bodied white wine like Chardonnay. Opt for a lightly oaked Chardonnay with buttery and citrusy notes, as it complements the creaminess of the pasta while balancing the dish’s richness. For a lighter option, try a crisp Pinot Grigio, which adds a refreshing contrast to the cheese and enhances the dish’s herbal undertones.
