Chicken Pesto Pasta

Pasta Pesto Chicken. Pesto Chicken Pasta. Pasta Chicken Pesto. Still having problems picking out a name for the things I cook… But well, does the name really matter? This is an old favorite. A winner, because it doesn’t only taste good, it is also great to build up energy before big physical events! :-) Last summer when Bastiaan and I went to the far east of Holland to compete in a 100km cycling event to support cancer research, I ate 2 plates of the Chicken Pesto Pasta the night before as preparation! And as finishing the 100km event, with a respectable 27km/hour average, wasn’t due to the fact of great preparation, so I have to give some credit to the Chicken Pesto Pasta! ;-) Unfortunately I haven’t been brave enough to sign up for the Vätternrundan this year (read also: “I am the messiah!”, red.), but I will be trying half that distance in the Amstel Gold Race in April. I am afraid that not being in shape and trying 300km will be a bit to much for me… and I don’t think I can blindly rely on the Chicken Pesto Pasta for that one… But I feel confident to do half the distance this year and then maybe the real deal next year! :-)
