I COOK AND YOU CAN'T HAZ ANY: Can't spoil a dinner I haven't made yet!

Ah, pesto chicken and tortellini. I was introduced to this deliciousness in my late relationship (RIP) and ever since I've loved it. I have a thing for pesto, and here's the deal - you either love pesto and will eat it on any kind of pasta, sandwich, or meat OR you absolutely hate the stuff. Well, I just so happen to fall into the first category.

So here's how we make it. Maybe it'll become your favorite too.

Big ol' pot
5 quarts of water
1 tsp olive oil
Chicken
Buitoni Three Cheese Tortellini
Buitoni basil pesto sauce
Pasta drainer
Probably a big ol' tupperware container

Here's how I lay it all out.

Well, you boil the water and add about 1 tsp of olive oil to keep the pasta from later sticking together.

Get a nice boil goin' and then plop all the pasta into the water, stirring occasionally.

After about 7-8 minutes, the tortellini should have expanded and become soft. Cook to taste.

While all of this is going, your chicken should either be grilling, baking, or microwaving (if you're like me - lazy).

Fork up the chicken so it looks kind of shredded. It's not all that yummy when you have big blocks of chicken in the pasta, so the shredded chicken is the way to go. If you have one, put it in a big ol' tupperware container that has a tight-sealing lid.

Drain your delicious pasta in the sink and shake it til alllllll the excess water comes out.

Now dump it in the tupperware with your forked chicken.

Take a fork or spoon and glob on the pesto. I usually do about 2-3 globs. This eyeballing method is actually a professional culinary skill, you just don't know it.

Seal the lid and make sure it won't fly off. Shake this puppy up until all the pesto is evenly mixed into the pasta and the chicken. It may take about a minute of shaking, but I usually dance to pass the time.

Open it up and BAM! You have pesto chicken and three cheese tortellini! Shovel into mouth immediately as it is most delicious when hot. You can eat it cold too, but this stuff will be microwaveable for days.
