I love pesto! I was scavenging around the pantry trying to decide what to make for dinner. I saw pesto (I had gotten it for a soup earlier this month and haven't used it since), chicken and Spaghetti squash. I had never made a "pesto pasta" dish before so I thought WHY NOT!! Plus pesto is the bomb...and easy to make if you're in a pinch! I will post that one later :)
