Here's a short and quick recipe for a pesto meal, that if you have the pesto pre-made, can be whipped up in 15 minutes.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
1 box pasta
Basil pesto (I buy mine at Costco)
Parmesan cheese to top (optional)

Directions:

Boil the pasta in a medium sauce pan. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into strips and fry with some olive oil.

When the pasta is finished and the chicken is cooked through, mix the pasta, chicken, and pesto together. You can easily eye how much pesto you'll need. Put a little pesto in and mix. If needed, add more.

You can serve the pasta with some sourdough bread, and a vegetable to make a complete meal.
