This recipe is great for a quick dinner on those busy weeknights. Since this can be eaten cold or room temperature, it’s also a great option for outings or picnics.
Remember how I said make your pesto in big batches?… Basil Pesto… this is why. This is where your pre-made pesto comes in handy. This recipe is pretty much throwing a buncha pre-made stuff with freshly cooked pasta in a bowl 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb thin spaghetti (or any pasta of your preference)
- 1/2 cup of Basil Walnut Pesto
- A handful of chopped sun dried tomatoes (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup of roasted chicken, shredded into big chunks with fork
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta per box instructions (it depends on the kind of pasta you’re using)
- Reserve 1/2 cup of cooked pasta water
- In a bowl mix pasta, pesto, sun dried tomatoes and the chicken. Add a splash of reserved pasta water. This really helps moisten and coat everything.
- Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
