Rotisserie chicken and pre-made pesto make quick worth of this healthy, fresh weeknight pasta recipe.
Ingredients
2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved, about 3 3/4 cups
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 900-g pkg linguine pasta
3/4 cup classic basil pesto (recipe below)
2 cups shredded chicken, about 1/2 rotisserie chicken
1 baguette, sliced into 12 1-in. slices
2 cups arugula
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 400F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss tomatoes with oil and 1/4 tsp salt on prepared baking sheet. Season with fresh pepper. Roast in centre of oven, shaking pan halfway through, until tomatoes are soft and golden brown, 20 to 25 min.
COOK pasta in a large pot of boiling water, following package directions, until al dente, 7 to 8 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Drain and return pasta to pot. Stir in pesto, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and extra water, if pasta seems dry. Toss with chicken, arugula and roasted tomatoes.
