CHICKEN PESTO PASTA
I always crave this, no matter what time of the year - I do love other comforting, warming foods during autumn/winter but this seems to hit the spot every single time, it’s also a really quick and easy lunch or dinner recipe - loved by all #winning.
I don’t always buy cream so the (milk + cheese) is a super trick to creating creaminess to the pasta!
