Sprinkle some parmesan, roasted pine nuts and torn fresh basil leaves, that makes a delicious meal on its own.
To make a complete meal and to add more vegetables and protein to the dish, I added roasted cherry tomatoes on truss and pan seared chicken breast.
This Homemade pesto sauce is still the star ingredient!!
The ingredients are listed in the printable Recipe card below together with the descriptions on how to cook the pasta, to roast the cherry tomatoes and to pan sear the chicken.
With a bottle of Homemade Pesto sauce, all is required is to mix the pesto sauce with pasta, sliced chicken and serve with roasted tomatoes.
Do not forget to sprinkle parmesan cheese before serving. This is a MUST step to have a satisfying, delicious plate of pesto pasta.

Most pasta shapes can be used to make pesto pasta but I highly recommend to used either penne, fusilli or Rotelle.
These type of pasta either has grooves to coat with pesto sauce or holes that big enough, so the pesto sauce will be caught in between.
In saying that, if you don't have these pasta shapes, just used what ever pasta packet in your larder.
