"Easy and delicious pasta with chicken. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!"

In college a few friends and I would have get togethers at my apartment during the summer when there were only a few of us around. I would cook and show we'd have a small wine tasting. I bragged about my cooking and, in turn, it made everyone really like it. I tried to introduce things that were a bit off the beaten path for everyday college meals. Things that were easy to create. This is one.

"A spicy chicken and pesto pasta dish that's easy to adjust to any heat level. I created it after eating a similar dish at a Santa Monica restaurant, and it's one of my favorites. Serve with additional grated Parmesan, if desired. As an option, it's delicious with creamy goat cheese stirred in at the end."
