Creamy Chicken & Veggie Fusilli
with Red Pesto & Parsley
We’re painting the pasta red, so make sure to stir that deliciously vibrant red pesto through the penne. To help it along is a creamy sauce with chicken and veggies to soak up the pesto and paint the perfect dinner time picture.
Unfortunately, this week's orecchiette was in short supply, so we've replaced it with fusilli. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!
