A healthy pasta dish with intense sun-dried tomatoes, zinging basil pesto and
Ingredients
  • 1 punnet of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 punnet of basil pesto
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 500g fresh pasta
  • 1 handful pine nuts
  • Black cracked pepper
  • Flakey salt

Instructions
  1. Place a pot of water (for the pasta) on to boil.
  2. Flatten the chicken breasts by placing them (one at a time) under some clingfilm and bashing them with the back of a pan. (It’s very therapeutic).
  3. Pan-fry them in a little vegetable/canola oil – about 2 mins a side – and set aside. They should cook through on standing.
  4. Place the pasta into the water with a good big pinch of salt.
  5. To toast the pinenuts, place them in a small pan and make sure to constantly roll them around. They burn very easily so take care.
  6. Drain the pasta and pile it all on plates, sprinkling the pine nuts on at the end and garnishing with fresh basil.

  1. It looks delicious, Caro!!

  2. There food24 team have to be congratulated on their hard work and effort put into this transition – have enjoyed the video showing a new post – its excellent. It is less time consuming than letterdash – and I am able to post from my own laptop instead of having to use hubby’s with its older version of internet explorer. Enjoy the weekend, Caro.
