Marry me pesto pasta

35 minutes

4-5 servings

When my husband and I just started dating I made this pasta for him and the first thing he said after taking a bite was: '' I can't wait to marry you'' Indulge in a bowl of savory creamy cheesy pesto pasta with vibrant vegetables that will literally awaken your taste buds. This dish combines al dente pasta tossed in a rich and creamy pesto sauce. The Fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes and broccoli add burst of color and a delightful crunch, balancing the richness of the sauce. Finished with a sprinkle of grated cheese, this pasta is not just a meal; it's a comforting and satisfying experience perfect for any occasion. Whether shared with loved ones or enjoyed solo, each forkful offers a harmonious blend of flavors.

Ingredients:

• 350 grams chicken breast

• 400 grams uncooked pasta

• 350 grams cherry tomatoes

• 350 grams broccoli

• 3 cloves garlic

• 1 big white onion (or 2 small ones)

• 250 grams cream cheese

• 5 tablespoons pesto

• Mayonaise

• Cheese to sprinkle on top (optional)

Step 1: Bring your salted water to a boil and cook the pasta following the directions from the packaging. In another pot cook your broccoli.

Step 2: Slice your chicken in cubes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Cut up your onion in small cubes and grade your garlic, heat up a little bit of oil in your pan and fry the onions and garlic until golden brown, then add your chicken and stir until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 4:

Slice your cherry tomatoes in halve and heat them up in a seperate pan until they're soft.

Step 5: when your Chicken is cooked through add the cream cheese and the pesto and mix until melted.

OPTIONAL: If you want you can add some pasta water to thin out the sauce but I personally prefer not to.

Step 6: When your broccoli and cherry tomatoes are cooked, add them to the chicken and sauce and simmer for 1 more minute
