Pesto Chicken Pasta

My garden is full of basil right now, so it's pesto making time. This recipe calls for fresh pesto (I like walnuts in mine instead of pine nuts) and pasta like farfalle or angel hair.

This is a version of Oven Baked Pesto Chicken by TbspZac

“A crusty pesto chicken served on a bed of farfalle.”
