There are definitely many good ones on this lady's blog! I made this for a guy on a date and he took a bite and was very impressed. It was good!!
Pesto:
Place all pesto ingredients into a food processor or
blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
2 cups fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
3 garlic cloves
½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/3 cup virgin olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
Chicken and Penne:
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into
one inch pieces
2 Tbsp. Olive oil or cooking oil
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
12 oz. penne pasta
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add
chicken and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. When chicken begins to
brown, add in uncooked pasta and broth. Bring to boil, then lower to medium
heat and cover the pan with a lid. Cook pasta in the broth until al dente,
according to the time on the package. Reduce heat to simmer and add cream and
pesto. Stir until mixed. Remove from stove and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Serve warm.
