This is a quick and simple meal that tastes great and my wife and 5 kids love it. It can be prepared in advance and takes 5 minutes to assemble and heat through. - jesse.68

Ingredients

2 tbs tomato pesto
1 barbecued cooked chicken shredded
2 tbs fresh basil finely chopped
600 ml cream fresh *to taste
750 g spaghetti *to taste
80 g toasted pine nuts

Method

Step 1

Boil a large pot of water and cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain then rinse with cold running water to prevent spaghetti from binding up on itself. Set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2

In a large frying pan, add the tomato pesto and begin to fry off so that the aromas are released, then add the cream and stir until combined.
Step 3

Add the cooked spaghetti, chicken, toasted pine nuts and basil.
Step 4

Stir until all ingredients are coated in the pesto cream mix and heated through.
Step 5

Serve with crusty bread.
