Ingredients

1 pack Qetoe Penne
• 2 tbsp pesto
• ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 small chicken breast
• Optional: shaved parmesan

Directions

Season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill in a pan or air fryer until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes each side). Let it rest, then slice thinly.
Add Qetoe Penne to boiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 1 more minute. Drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté cherry tomatoes until softened.
Add the penne and pesto. Stir gently to coat.
Season with salt and pepper. Plate the pasta, then top with grilled chicken slices, basil, and optional parmesan.
