Preparation method
Preparing the Pasta and Chicken
Boil the whole wheat pasta in salted boiling water and cook according to package instructions (usually 12–15 minutes) until al dente.
Meanwhile, clean the chicken breast, cut it into cubes, and quickly sauté it in a pan with 10 ml of sunflower oil (about 1 tablespoon). Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat until the chicken is golden and cooked through, then remove from heat.
Preparing the Pesto and Assembly
Prepare the spinach pesto: put the spinach, hazelnuts, remaining sunflower oil, and Parmesan into a blender. Blend until you get a fine and homogeneous mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a spicier version, also add the 2 cloves of garlic to the blender.
Chef's tip
You can replace the hazelnuts with pine nuts or cashew nuts for a different pesto texture.
