This creamy pasta bake combines whole wheat pasta noodles, golden sautéed chicken, and bright, bursting cherry tomatoes in a vibrant pesto sauce. It’s hearty, filling, and cozy, the way you’d expect a chicken pesto pasta bake to be. It’s also unexpectedly fresh. A bright Basil Pesto sauce infuses the pasta with light and sunny flavor. Cherry tomatoes and spinach add healthy servings of veggies. You can just add pesto to pasta and call it a day, but I think the extra addition of veggies and herbs lifts the pasta right off of your plate Whether you need a healthy, ultra tasty dinner option to feed a crowd, want leftovers to enjoy the rest of the week, or are looking for meals you can make in advance, this chicken pesto pasta is a fantastic choice....
