| 1. Remove all sinew and cartilege from the chicken breast and cut into strips about 1 and 1/2 inches long and a half inch wide. | 2. Scrape and trim the asparagus, discarding any tough ends, and cut on the diagonal into one and half lengths. | 3. Drop the asparagus into rapidly boiling water and cook for just a few moments--they should still be crisp--and drain and reserve, keeping warm. | 4. Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling salted water until al dente and drain and reserve, keeping warm. | 5. Heat the butter in a casserole and add the chicken strips, stirring and seasoning with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, cooking less than a minute, until the chicken just begins to change color. | 6. Add the asparagus and stir. | 7. Add the shallots and cook briefly, about 30 seconds. | 8. Add the cream, hot red pepper (or pepper flakes) and the tarragon and stir. | 9. Break the gorgonzola cheese into small lumps and add it, cooking just until the cheese melts. | 10. Add a generous grinding of black pepper and the tarragon and stir. | 11. Add the drained pasta and toss well. | 12. Serve with grated parmesan on the side. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
