PREPARATION

1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, usually about 7-9 minutes.
2
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
4
Add the baby spinach to the skillet during the final minute of cooking, tossing until just wilted.
5
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water to help emulsify the sauce.
6
Lower the heat and combine the cooked pasta, chicken, spinach, and basil pesto in the skillet, adding reserved water as needed.
7
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with the shaved parmesan cheese before serving.
