Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and chicken will give your pasta dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality pesto. A good pesto will have a bright green color and a nutty flavor. You can make your own pesto or buy it from the store.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help the pasta absorb the sauce better.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Pesto pasta is best when served fresh.
