SUPER VEGETABLE PESTO PASTA WITH PAN SEARED OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN
I have tried many different pesto recipes and tried to combine what I liked most from all of them to create this pesto sauce. I LOVE baked tomatoes with basil and balsalmic vinegar, so that is why I added these three to the recipe. The asparagus was on hand and thought it would bring a nice flavor to the recipe, as well as the scallions.

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!

VEGETABLE PESTO PASTA
If you like pesto, this makes a great pasta dish, especially for using up some of the vegetables from your summer garden. It can be either a side dish or a main dish for supper. The amount of oil required for the pesto is approximate, so be prepared to use more if needed. The pesto directions make more than is needed for the dish, so reserve the extra pesto for another use.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil and pine nuts in your pesto. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use less of it, as it is more concentrated.
- To make your pesto extra creamy, add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make your pesto in a blender. Just be sure to blend it until it is smooth.
- If you are short on time, you can use store-bought pesto instead of making your own.
- To cook the chicken, you can either pan-sear it or roast it in the oven. If you are pan-searing the chicken, be sure to use a nonstick skillet and cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through.
- If you are roasting the chicken, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
- To make the roasted vegetables, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender.
- To assemble the pasta dish, simply toss the cooked pasta with the pesto, roasted vegetables, and cooked chicken. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil for garnish.
