Pasta with Walnut Pesto, Chicken, and String beans
For my walnut pesto sauce: I blended roughly 2 cups basil with 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup of grated pecorino romano (parmesan cheese works well here too), and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. My one word of advice is to add a small ladle-full of pasta water (i.e. the water that you use to cook your pasta in) to your pesto to thin it out.
I cut two grilled chicken breasts and a handful of cooked string beans into bite-sized pieces (roughly the same size as my pasta). I added the chicken, string beans, and pesto sauce to my cooked pasta.
Be prepared to feast your eyes.
