Creamy Pesto Pasta - a light penne pasta bursting with flavor | www.fantasticalsharing.com 

I've recently discovered what I've missed out by not having tried pesto sooner. It's one of my new favorite things and this has made me hoard a whole slew of new recipes. Nick was also a little unsure of pesto, but fell in love with it too. Although this recipe doesn't seem like anything extraordinary, it really is one of the better light chicken and pasta recipes I've had in my life. I think this would be the perfect recipe to try if you were new to pesto too.
