ZAATAR AND BASIL PESTO CHICKEN PASTA
Embark on a culinary journey with our Zaatar and Basil Pesto Chicken Pasta, a vibrant fusion of Middle Eastern and Italian influences. This dish starts with tender, juicy chicken breast, marinated in the earthy, aromatic spice blend of zaatar. The zaatar—a traditional mix of wild thyme, sumac, and toasted sesame seeds—infuses the chicken with a slightly tangy, nutty flavour, creating a perfect harmony of herbs and spices that awaken the palate.
The chicken is paired with al dente penne pasta, tossed in a velvety basil pesto sauce. Made from freshly picked basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil, the pesto delivers a silky, herbaceous richness that coats every piece of pasta, providing a delicious contrast to the boldness of the zaatar chicken.
Topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a hint of freshly cracked black pepper, this dish is elevated with subtle creaminess and a touch of heat. A drizzle of high-quality olive oil adds a smooth finish, enhancing the overall depth of flavour.
Whether you’re seeking something new or looking for a hearty yet refreshing meal, the Zaatar and Basil Pesto Chicken Pasta offers a unique and flavourful twist on classic pasta dishes. Perfect for a lunch that stands out or a dinner with a touch of gourmet flair.
