-farfalle or linguine) PESTO 1/3 c Parmesan cheese, grated
4 Clove garlic
1 ts Salt
1 qt Fresh basil leaves, loosely
-packed 1/3 c Pine nuts
3/4 c Olive oil
1 1/4 lb Boneless, skinless chicken
-breasts (4) 1 tb Vegetable oil
Saltpepper PREPARATION: Make the Egg Pasta dough; roll as thin as possible. For farfalle, cut dough into 1-inch wide strips; then cut each strip into 2 inch long pieces. Pinch each piece to form a bow-tie. OR cut dough into 1/8-inch wide strips for linguine.
For The Pesto, grate the cheese. Mash the garlic with the salt to form a smooth paste. Combine the garlic paste, basil, pine nuts, and olive oil in food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Stir in the cheese. NOTE: Can be made to this point several hours ahead. COOKING AND SERVING: Heat the grill or broiler. Toss the chicken with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil or grill the chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Cut into bite-size pieces. Cook pasta in boiling, salted water until tender, about 3 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain and return to pot. Toss with chicken and pesto sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 4 servings. [COOKS March-April 1988]

One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
This super lush and Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta is perfect for busy weeknights. Everything cooks in one pot and is done in under 30 minutes! FULL RECIPE BELOW. ????
PRINTABLE RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast ($5.56)
2 Tbsp butter ($0.26)
2 cloves garlic ($0.16)
1/2 lb. penne pasta ($0.40)
1.5 cups chicken broth ($0.20)
1 cup milk ($0.32)
3 oz. cream cheese ($0.29)
1/3 cup basil pesto ($0.73)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan ($0.44)
freshly cracked pepper ($0.03)
1 pinch crushed red pepper ($0.02)
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
3 cup fresh spinach ($0.90)
1/4 cup sliced sun dried tomatoes ($1.10)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Add the butter to a deep skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the chicken is slightly browned on the outside.
2. While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet with the chicken and continue to sauté for one minute more.
3. Add the uncooked pasta and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Stir to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil.
4. Once the broth comes to a full boil, give the pasta a quick stir, replace the lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pasta simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir the pasta briefly every two minutes as it simmers, replacing the lid quickly each time.
5. Once the pasta is tender and most of the broth absorbed, add the milk, cream cheese (cut into chunks), and pesto. Stir and cook over medium heat until the cream cheese has fully melted into the sauce. Finally, add the grated Parmesan and stir until combined.
6. If using, add the fresh spinach and sliced sun dried tomatoes. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then remove the pasta from the heat. Top the pasta with freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper, then serve.
