• When timer goes off, start a pot of water boiling; Re-set timer for 15 minutes


• When water comes to boil, drop in pasta and cook 7-9 minutes


• Drain pasta and return to hot pot. Immediately drop in pat of butter and stir to coat pasta. Add dash of cream (I used about a Tablespoon) and stir. Finally, add 2 Tbsp of pesto or as much as desired to coat your pasta


• Your timer for the chicken should be going off about now, so pull it outta there


• Place a nest of pesto pasta in the center of the plate, lay chicken breast on top. Grate a little more asiago on top, maybe a sprig of parsley if you're feeling festive
