DAILY RECIPE

Teena's Spicy Pesto Chicken and Pasta

SUBMITTED BY: LAGIRL 

A spicy chicken and pesto pasta dish that's easy to adjust to any heat level. I created it after eating a similar dish at a Santa Monica restaurant, and it's one of my favorites. Serve with additional grated Parmesan, if desired. As an option, it's delicious with creamy goat cheese stirred in at the end.
