ONE-PAN GARLIC CHICKEN PESTO PASTA
It feels like I save a recipe from Buzzfeed/Tasty via Facebook every single day. I have made quite a few of them and every single one has been delicious. Pasta is one of my favorite things to make because there are so many varieties and there are always leftovers. I have made this ‘Garlic Chicken Pesto Pasta’ recipe twice in the past few weeks. It is flavorful, filling, and easy to make. All the things I like when I decide to make a new dish. Now the recipe title says “one-pan” but technically you have to make the pasta first in a pot BUT everything gets mixed together in one pan so I will let that slide.
Do yourself a favor: Make this recipe. You won’t be disappointed!
