Pesto Fettuccini
NOTES: This meal is quick, easy and simply delightful. Your guest will
think it
took you a long time to make and really it only takes about twenty
minutes. My
step mother brought this to our family about six years ago and I am so
pleased
with this meal. You can make it any time and serve it up for dinner,
cold or
hot you decide which way is best for you.
INGREDIENTS:
4 quartz of water
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 package of Buitoni Fettuccini Pasta
1 container of Buitoni Pesto Sauce

Or 4 Chicken Breast
METHOD:
In a 6 quart pot or bigger bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the
Fettuccini Pasta and stir, let boil for two-three minutes, drain and
put in
desired bowl. Add the pesto sauce and after you opened the can of
chicken shred
it up with a spoon and add chicken to pasta and pesto, mix it all up
and serve
warm or put in refrigerator for later.
If you substitute the can of chicken with fresh chicken breast, boil
chicken
for 15-20 minutes, drain, let cool, and shred the chicken- then place
that
chicken with the pasta and pesto mix and serve, or save in refrigerator
for
later.
