Instructions
1 Boil pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
- Once boiling, add the pasta and cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking.
- Add the peas for the final 2-3 min.
- Reserve 100 ml of the pasta water from the pot.
- Drain and return the pasta and peas to the pot.
2 Prep
- Meanwhile, slice the chicken into bite-sized strips.
3 Fry
- Heat a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the chicken with a pinch of salt and for 7 min or until cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and season with pepper to taste.
Tip! To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a knife into the meat - if the juices run clear, it's ready.
4 Prep
- Meanwhile, chop the cherry tomatoes in half.
- Finely chop the basil leaves.
5 Assemble
- To the cooked pasta and peas, add the pesto, cream cheese, half of the Parmesan (reserve the rest for garnish), half of the basil (reserve the rest for garnish) and the reserved pasta water.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
6 Serve
- Serve the Pesto Pasta among bowls topped with the Chicken and Cherry Tomatoes.
- Garnish with the remaining basil and remaining grated Parmesan.
