Shrimp and Chicken Pesto Pasta

I was inspired by Gertrude to make my own Pesto Paste.You can find her recipe at my kitchen snippets blog.Well,I have to alternate the ingredients accordingly to what I have in my pantry and fridge.Of course I don't have fresh basil at home.I quickly go to farm market to get a bunch of fresh basil at $1.99...there you go.....Ingredients for fresh Pesto Paste

5 cloves garlic(peeled)

I bundle fresh basil leaves(washed)

1/2 cup walnut

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp pepper to taste

*Blend above ingredients until fine*Ingredients for the Pasta

1/2 box of pasta (any kind)

5-6 cloves of garlic (chopped)

1 piece of chicken breast (slice thinly)

10 shrimp (clean and deviened)

1 large onion(sliced)

1 large green pepper(sliced)

1/4 cup of whole milk

1/2 cup of pesto

1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Cook pasta according to the box instruction until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add in garlic,shrimp and chicken meat.Stir fry until lightly brown. Add in onion and green pepper for a minute.

3. Add in half and half, pesto and Parmesan cheese. Bring to boil

4. Lastly toss in the pasta and stir until well combined and sauce thicken. Serve warm .Actually I make this Shrimp and Chicken Presto Pasta for Elliot but he prefer red sauce rather than creamy white sauce.Anyway,I still left plenty Presto paste ,so I freeze it in the freezer.Surprisingly I like the creamy cheesy taste and flavor of this presto pasta.That right ,it's really easy to make.Enjoy it!
