Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a bright and herbaceous finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Dry chickpea pasta
1 tbsp Basil pesto
2 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking liquid before draining.
Season the chicken breast with the sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for about one minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and stir until the leaves are just wilted.
Return the sliced chicken to the pan along with the cooked pasta, basil pesto, lemon juice, and the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything together over low heat until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce has emulsified.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with the grated parmesan cheese before serving.
