BROTH PESTO WITH PASTA, PEAS, AND CHICKEN
A deliciously creamy pasta dish that doesn't use any cream. The vegetable broth mixed with fresh pesto makes a very flavorful sauce. You can use real chicken but you should try the Quorn® stuff -- it's really good.

Steps:
- Place the vegetable broth into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta, and boil over medium-low heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta, and reserve broth.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in half the spring onions; cook and stir until the onions begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the vegetarian chicken-style pieces. Cook until vegetarian pieces are browned, about 3 minutes per side, then stir in remaining onion and green peas. Pour 1/2 cup of reserved vegetable broth into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook the peas, and stir in the pasta and pesto sauce. Mix in an additional 1/2 cup of broth to form a creamy sauce.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe and I enjoyed the flavors.

[email protected]This recipe is a great base for customization. I like to add some sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to mine. I also use a different type of pesto, depending on what I have on hand.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The pesto was too oily and the chicken was dry. I think I may have overcooked the chicken.
