Method
Step by step
Step 1Get prepped
Cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water for 9 to 11 minutes until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water.

Halve the cherry tomatoes, roughly chop any large spinach leaves, and get the pesto ready.
Step 3Build the flavour
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, then chop the roasted vegetables into smaller pieces so they mix through evenly.
