My son Ted who is eleven absolutely loves noodles but he’s not so keen on pesto. When I suggested this meal he wasn’t sure. Ted isn’t really a fan of green food. I would have called this meal ‘Hulk’ food but Ted would think it’s lame. Instead I called it what it resembled and Ted almost ate the lot. During the meal he told me loved this dish. Then he asked if we could have it again soon. I’ll take that as a success and of course I’ll be making it again. SOON!!!

Chicken Pesto Noodles were so good. It was an easy dish to prepare and cook. The pesto could be made in advance and frozen until it needs to be eaten. Plus the chicken could be cooked the day before as well. Then stored in the fridge overnight. I use brown rice noodles so I wouldn’t freeze this dish. Personally I think noodles taste better cooked fresh. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
