Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Boil salted water to cook the rigatoni (or whatever pasta shape you prefer). In the meantime, mince the garlic and cut up the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks and heat the oil on medium-low heat in a small skillet. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to infuse the oil (about three minutes). Once the garlic is golden, add the chicken and saute until cooked-through. Add the chopped red bell pepper while the chicken is cooking.
  2. Add the pesto sauce to the skillet and toss the chicken pieces around in the sauce. Heat through.
  3. Drain the pasta, and combine the pasta with the contents of the skillet. Mix well. Serve in two bowls, with parmesan and cilantro sprinkled on top.
