PESTO PASTA

This is a special version of my Pesto pasta to make a friend pleased.  Aside with the simple ingredients of it, I wanted to set apart from the plain pesto pasta.  We know the distinct and tang taste of pesto paste because of the crushed basil leaves.  Well, the feta cheese actually blended well with the pesto taste and with aragula leaves.  And the cherry tomatoes really go well to balance that tang taste of pesto.

I added bite size chicken breast and topped with diced onions and parmesan cheese.

The preparation is so easy.  Sauté the garlic and onion, then add the chicken breast with few water to cook.  Add the pesto paste and set aside. Cook the pasta based on the packaging instruction.  In a bowl, toss the cooked pasta and the pesto paste.  Add the aragula leaves and halves cherry tomatoes, mix well and add the feta cheese.  Sprinkle with diced onion and parmesan cheese on top.

And lastly, just eat right.
