And throw in about a tablespoon of butter and you know just do the usual give it a swirl around and let it melt down then throw in another tablespoon of olive oil just to keep that butter from burning then go ahead and put those chicken breasts in and we’re going to

Fry these up until they’re cooked through in a nice Brown and a bit of a sear on each side side well the chicken is cooking we’re going to get our pasta ready by boiling up some water and adding in a bit of salt I’d say about a

Teaspoon to make it just like the Mediterranean then we’re going to throw in two cups of his silly noodles and this recipe feeds four so you know two cups should be good then we’ll just cook this up for about 9 or 10 minutes just to the point where it’s you know El

Dente and then strain it and set it aside okay now those chicken breasts are beautifully done we’re going to go ahead and set these aside on a plate to rest and lo and behold the sa it’s done at the same time so what I’m going to do is

Grab up half a cup of that liquid cuz I’m going to use it in the sauce and to make that sauce I’m going to add in half a cup of heavy cream to the same pan as the chicken followed by that pasta water a/4 cup of basil pesto I just love this

Stuff and another thing I love that I’m going to add in are a couple of tablespoons of sundried tomatoes two or three teaspoons of good old Italian seasoning a good pinch of salt just a little bit maybe half a teaspoon a teaspoon and about a teaspoon of ground

Black pepper of course grabb up the old spoon and mix everything together and my goodness guys this is such a simple recipe but ever ever so good and we’ll just continue to stir until that sauce thickens up now our sauce is thickened up a bit I’m going to throw in a couple

Of good handfuls of baby spinach of course the good old puy would be downright proud of me give that spinaches stir around till it begins to wilt down and this won’t take very long maybe a minute or so then of course you guessed it in with that pasta that’s
