Simply Delicious Pesto Pasta
Cook 8 ounces pasta, I like Barilla Piccolini, it is a Mini Penne
1 small onion, diced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 pound chicken tenders, grilled and sliced
Pesto--homemade or Costco
Saute onion and zucchini in a little olive oil till slightly brown. Add chicken and pasta, stir in pesto to taste. I just added a spoon full at a time. I also added a couple of tablespoons of liquid from the cooked pasta. Heat and top with grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
This recipe would be great with mushrooms, yellow summer squash, red pepper etc. I had grilled chicken tenders in the fridge so this came together in minutes. I think we will see different versions of this recipe a lot in the coming months.

They are excellent, enjoy!
A perfect meal for summer. My zucchini is a bit slow this year, but soon I'll be searching for great simple ideas like this.
Thanks so much Cindy...I had found & printed up that recipe in my quest, but wasn't sure if it was the right one. I'll be whipping up a batch soon!
Thanks so much...'happy cooking!
