It`s only early, but it is already warming up.
There is a change expected later this afternoon but the house will still be warm on my arrival home and there is a special cake to be worked on tonight ....
This is a really tasty and filling meal and is super quick ...how quick ? Seriously don`t time yourself , enjoy your preparation...by saying quick I simply mean there are not a lot of elements to the dish.
I have left over cooked chicken fillets in the fridge , so I will shred these to use for tea tonight.
First boil some broken pasta ..what`s that ? , it is dry lasagne sheets broken or torn into odd shaped large pieces and boiled like you would any pasta.( Any dried pasta that you have in the cupboard will do , tonight I will be using bow ties. )
While the pasta is cooking place 2 large handfuls of spinach , a 1/2 cup of fresh basil, 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 tablespoon of rice bran oil, 1/4 cup of vegetable or chicken stock 1. heaped teaspoon of chia seeds, 1 tsp spoon of dried cumin , 1 tsp teaspoon of smokey paprika, and 1 whole clove of garlic, all into your mini chopper and give it a good pulse.. Magic you have your pesto
In a small pan along with 3/4 cup of veg/ chicken stock heat the shredded meat , add half a cup of pitted sliced kalamata olives , stir in the pesto.
Drain your pasta , plate up and dress with the chicken pesto spooned over and garnished with halved cherry tomatoes and torn basil leaves sprinkled with parmesan and pepper ..enjoy !
