Cooking Instructions
- 1
Set aside a cup of pasta water. Drain pasta but keep warm while you create the sauce.
- 2
Heat some oil in a skillet. Add your onions and cook until they are translucent. Add garlic. Cook until fragrant. Add sundried tomatoes and a splash of pasta water. Cook another minute. Add your pesto and stir.
- 3
Start adding your pasta in small increments to make sure all noodles get covered. Taste and adjust your salt and pepper if needed.
- 4
Add your cooked chicken and heat thoroughly if it was cold. And your fresh mozzarella last. I served the chicken alongside for the first night we had this...for leftovers i cut up the chicken and tossed everything together. Let me tell you the next day leftovers are amazing! You can have it as a pasta salad...We ate it cold!! So good!

Opt: drizzle extra oil over the top for a fancy finish. Also: Sprinkle the parmesan over everything at the end if you love that extra salty nutty flavor on your pasta!

Green Asparagus with Basil Pesto Green Asparagus with Basil Pesto
It was really nice when I tried this for the first time. Peter Bunner, the chef, once recommended drying the asparagus with a little olive oil in the oven after blanching. I tried it. He didn't mention that he patted them dry after soaking them in cold water, or write down the temperature of the oven, so I included those things here after some experimenting.I learned this method of 'drying' asparagus with olive oil in the oven for 5 minutes from a chef's magazine column.I usually soak them in cold water and pat dry but when I tried his way the asparagus tasted better. Do not overcook the asparagus. Recipe by Brandy -
