Ingredients needed
For the homemade pesto
Baby spinach. Fresh basil leaves. Fresh garlic gloves. Nuts. Pine nuts, almonds, cashews or pecan nuts are all good options. Parmesan cheese. Extra-virgin olive oil. Salt and black pepper.
For the chicken pesto pasta
Pasta. I used spaghetti but any pasta shape of your choice will work. Penne or rigatoni are good options if you want short pasta. Gluten-free pasta can also be used. Chicken breasts. Oil. Paprika. Dried oregano. Salt and black pepper. Butter. Fresh garlic cloves. Lemon juice. Optional: If you want to add veggies to this dish, cherry tomatoes, asparagus and peas can be cooked with the chicken before tossing with the pasta.
