Season a pint of cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.

Bake these babies at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Makes them soooo good!

I used a rotisserie chicken and thinly sliced one of the breasts.

Add the sliced chicken and baby spinach leaves to a large skillet over medium heat with some olive oil.

Cook your pasta al dente so there’s still a nice bite to it.

Add your drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and spinach.

Give a gentle toss to mix ingredients.

Add some prepared pesto along with your roasted tomatoes and some parmesan cheese. Just like that dinner is ready!

I like to serve this pasta right out of the skillet.

Love having my 2 year old as my sidekick. He loves when I am finished so he can DIG in, haha!!
