BEACH COVE Breeze

Hello Beach Cove Residents, May has arrived, bringing warm sunshine, blooming landscapes, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy our wonderful Florida lifestyle. We have lots of May events planned, including Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day so be sure to check out the calendar!

This month, I’d like to take a moment to reflect a bit more on Memorial Day. While it often marks the unofficial start of summer—with gatherings, barbecues, and time spent with friends and neighbors—it’s also a meaningful time to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. It’s a day of gratitude, reflection, and appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy every day. As you spend the holiday weekend here in Beach Cove, or wherever you may be, I encourage everyone to take a quiet moment to remember the true meaning of the day, while also enjoying the sense of community that makes this place so special.

Around the community, we continue working to keep everything looking its best and running smoothly. Thank you for your continued pride in your homes and for being such an important part of what makes Beach Cove a warm and welcoming place to live.

Wishing you all a safe, relaxing, and wonderful month ahead.

Warmest regards,

Tookie Smith Community Manager

Lemon Asparagus &Chicken Pasta

INSTRUCTIONS

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

• 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup basil pesto, or to taste

• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 4 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

STEP 1: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.

STEP 2: Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip; add 1 dollop pesto to each chicken breast. Continue to cook until no longer pink in centers, flipping as needed, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

STEP 3: Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus; cook and stir for 1 to 3 minutes, depending how tender you like it. Add lemon juice, garlic, and pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked pasta, 1 dollop pesto, and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese melts. Add 1 tablespoon reserved pasta water if cheese begins to stick to the skillet.

STEP 4: Chop chicken and place on top spaghetti; season with salt and black pepper.
