INGREDIENTS

Pick rotisserie chicken and chop into small chunks. Toast pine nuts until light golden brown then set aside. (About 2-3 minutes in toaster oven)

DIRECTIONS

Cook and drain pasta as directed on the package. Return pasta to the pot and cover to keep warm. Using a food processor, blend together spinach, basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt and oil to create the pesto sauce.

Add pesto sauce to pasta and toss to coat. Cover again to keep warm. Using a greased cast iron skillet, cook raw shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side. Toss the chicken in with the shrimp for the last 3 minutes to heat it up.

To serve, twirl pesto noodles and place several twirls onto each plate. Top with shrimp, chicken and Parmesan cheese.
