Pasta is my favorite food as most of you know by now. When it’s cold outside or is rainy and dreary then pasta is my comfort food. This past week for dinner one night I decided to make this Pesto Chicken Spaghetti with Mezzetta! I was brainstorming what I could make and then one night as I was falling asleep the idea came to me and my mouth began to water!
One of our favorite things to make is chicken with some delicious breading but sometimes that can get a little dull. I decided to liven the recipe up a little that Mezzetta pesto would be a delicious addition. I had never cooked or eaten anything with pesto until my brother-in-law made a delicious pasta recipe for us with pesto in it. It’s so good and I’m going to get the recipe so I can share it with you all one day. It began my love for pesto and using it in recipes.
This is such a simple recipe although if you’re like me, and hate touching raw chicken, it involves a lot of hand washing too! I loved creating this delicious meal which will become a family holiday favorite. It’s warm and comforting and the perfect pasta and chicken meal!
- 6 Chicken Tenderloin Breasts
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mezzetta Pesto
- 1 egg
- Angel hair spagehtti
- Mezzetta Homemade Style Marinara
- Mezzetta Roasted Bell Peppers
- Mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and Mezzetta pesto in a bowl
- Beat one egg in another bowl
- Dip chicken into the egg and then into breadcrumb mixture
- Place dipped chicken on a foil lined and greased baking sheet
- Bake chicken at 375 for 15-20 minutes
- Prepare pasta according to package directions
- Chop Mezzetta Roasted Bell Peppers into bite size pieces
- Top pasta with Mezzetta Homemade Style Marinara, then the roasted bell peppers and sliced chicken
This recipe turned out so delicious. The Mezzetta pesto added a great flavor to the chicken and the Mezzetta Homemade Style Marinara was delicious! I love adding another pasta and chicken dish to our lineup because that’s one of our go to meals. This meal is so simple to make so it will be perfect to serve to family and friends who come to visit during the holiday season.
