Easy and delicious pasta with chicken. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pound the chicken breasts flat to about 1 inch with a meat tenderizer. Rub them down with a bit of olive oil then season with dried basil, dried oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
- Heat a pan to medium heat and sear them 3-4 minutes per side, until they are cooked through. Set aside.
- While chicken is cooking, get your pasta going by bringing a pot of salted water to boil. Boil the pasta noodles according to your box directions. Should be 10 minutes or so. I used rotini noodles!
- While pasta is cooking, heat a small pan to medium heat. Dry roast the pecans a couple minutes until they start to brown. Add them to a food processor.
- Splash the same pan with oil and add garlic clove. Toss and cook about a minute or so, until you can smell the garlic. Into the food processor it goes.
- To the food processor, add spinach, basil, 1 roasted jalapeno pepper, olive oil, and manchego cheese. Process to form your pesto. If you'd like to thin out your pesto, add a couple tablespoons of the pasta water and process.
- Drain pasta and toss it with the pesto. Serve with extra sliced jalapeno peppers and top with seared asparagus spears, if desired. Enjoy!

PESTO PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS OVER TOMATO SPINACH PASTA
This is a quick and easy dish to make. Now, if you have time - marinating the chicken ahead of time in the pesto will make this even better. But if not, you can make this without the marinating process. You can also make your own pesto, however, a good quality store bought brand will work just fine for this. The chicken is simply dredged in pesto and then coated in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for a nice crust. Served with a simple spinach pasta, which is tossed with tomatoes, white wine and fresh basil. Add a quick side salad for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Chicken -- I don't like the chicken breasts too thin for this. A scallopini cut is too thin, but lately a few that I have purchased are so thick I had to pound them out a bit.
- Marinate -- Now, if you have time, place the chicken and pesto in a large baggie and let it marinate, 30 minute and up to 4 hours. But not longer than 4 hours. If you do not have time, don't worry. It can be made right on the spot.
- Tomato sauce -- I like to start the sauce first. I use a good Italian flavored tomato sauce, but use your favorite sauce. I also like to add a bit more onion and garlic to mine, but remember, you can really add anything you want to make it "Yours.".
- In a small pot, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Then add the onion and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and then add in the tomatoes and let simmer while you prepare the chicken. Before serving - after puree - if you add that step, add in the fresh basil.
- Note: Depending on what type of tomatoes you use, you may need to puree them. I use my immersion blender or you can use a regular blender. The end result you want a fairly smooth sauce. I like a little texture, but I use big Italian tomatoes, so I like to puree mine a bit. If you use a fine diced tomatoes, you may not need to do that. It is your choice.
- Chicken -- In a pie plate, or small dish, add the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
- Now if you marinated the chicken in the pesto remove each chicken breast and lightly shake off any extra. Then dredge in the bread crumb and cheese mixture. If you didn't marinate your chicken, just add the pesto to a small bowl and dip each breast in the pesto, shake off any extra and dredge in the bread crumb and cheese mixture like above.
- Pasta -- Cook according to package directions.
- Pan Sear -- In a large skillet (I prefer a non-stick pan for this), heat up the olive oil of medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown. They only take approximately 5-10 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your chicken.
- Pasta -- Drain the pasta well and toss in the tomato sauce and don't forget to add the fresh basil.
- Serve -- Plate up the pasta and tomato sauce and then top with a chicken breast. You can garnish with extra parmesan if you want. Just add a salad and dinner. ENJOY!

- Slice your delicata squash into 1/2"-inch rings (they will be “half” rings since you’ve already sliced it lengthwise). Cut each of these rings in half again, so you have approximately 1"-inch pieces of squash. If you're using butternut squash, peel and slice into small 1/2"-inch cubes.
- Make your pesto by combining the toasted pecans and the garlic clove in a blender or food processor. Blend until you have small pieces of pecan, then add in the remaining pesto ingredients. Blend until everything is combined and mostly smooth. Taste and add more salt or lemon if desired.
- Bring a large pot or deep skillet of water to a boil and add 3 tablespoons of sea salt. Cook your pasta according to directions until al dente -- it should be slightly undercooked since it will finish cooking in the pot. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then strain the pasta and set aside.
- In the same pot/skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium. Add the sliced shallots and a big pinch of sea salt and cook for 2-3 minutes or until just starting to turn translucent. Add the sliced garlic, delicata squash pieces and another pinch of salt and stir. Cook over medium heat, covered, for 6-8 minutes or until the squash pieces are tender and browned. Stir the mixture occasionally to make sure that the shallots and garlic aren’t burning. Add your mushroom pieces and cook everything uncovered for another 5-8 minutes, until everything is browned and soft.
