Once upon a time there was... Italian Pesto Chicken


This dinner is super impressive.  There is something about food that's rolled up that says "look how fancy I cook and how obviously skilled I am".  So if you are trying to impress someone or just like food thats pretty to look at, give this one a try.  This recipe is adapted from Jean May's cookbook titled "Chicken".

ingredients
2 chicken breasts
2 Tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 c white wine
3.5 oz chopped tomato (fresh or canned)
2 Tbsp pesto

Once upon a time there was... Penne with Fresh Pesto, Ricotta, and Tomatoes

Well Castle Farm Cookbook readers, here's a great use for our fresh pesto! Since you've made the pesto ahead of time, this dinner is super quick and easy for a weeknight. We found this recipe online a few years ago and can't find the original source.

Once upon a time there was... Pesto


A fresh homemade pesto is so simple and yet so delicious.  It's also extremely versatile.  We had planned to show you many different uses for it this week, but then we ate it all - so instead there will only be two pesto-based recipes.  You'll have to wait until next time we make it to get more.  Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long! Our pesto recipe is from Williams-Sonoma's Italian.
