Balsamic Chicken Pesto Pasta

Pasta recipe in partnership with the Taste Box.

Holiday season is upon us and boy do I have the perfect gift in mind for your favorite food maven! I was fortunate enough to connect with The Taste Box. The Taste Box is a monthly box auto shipped to you after being carefully curated by a perfect pair, Jennifer Hallihan and Matt Walker. “We know that finding the perfect ingredients and food pairings results in incredible food and we want to include you as we chase down the very best ones.” 

I got in my first Taste Box, Pasta is Love. After getting in my box, we just became best friends. I heart pasta. Included in the box was a gorgeous bottle of Centonze Olive Oil to finely dried Afeltra Spaghetti, salts from France and to top it all off…Black Truffle Oil by Il Tartufo Di Paolo. I also love the product knowledge card they provided inside the box sharing with me that Conserve Del Nonna Basil Tomato and Arrabbiata Sauce contains sauce made with in 24-hours of picking the tomatoes at peak ripeness.

This Saturday night I opened up a bottle of white and created something tasty with my Taste Box. Using Afeltra Spaghetti, I created this Balsamic Chicken over Pesto Spaghetti dish. Light and healthy using the fruity olives in the Centonze Olive Oil, this was the perfect pasta recipe.
