Chicken, Veggies, Pine Nuts, Pesto Pasta
  1. Heat large pot of salted water to boiling over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente. Add asparagus and broccoli to pot during last 1 minute of pasta cooking time (or last 2 minutes for softer cooked vegetables). Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain everything and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and almost cooked through, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and peas; cook 1 minute.

  3. Add pesto, grated Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, pepper, pasta, asparagus, broccoli and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water to skillet; toss until well combined. Thin with additional pasta water if sauce is too thick.

  4. Remove from heat; fold in mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately, garnished with pine nuts, basil leaves and shaved Parmesan.
