Finding delicious easy to make dinner options are challenging with two young boys. They aren’t always open to trying new foods and I am always looking for ways to change our meals and offer more than just lean protein and vegetables for dinner. When I was asked to give Oliveri’s Basil and Cheese Pesto a try I was instantly inspired to create a meal that included delicious Oliveri’s pasta, chicken, and pesto. The result was this incredible Chicken, Tomato, Basil and Cheese Pesto Pasta Recipe that received rave reviews from the whole family.

Celebrate Olivieri’s 60 Years of Keeping it Fresh AnniversaryÂ
I love making meals with Olivieri for my family because I know I am using fresh, healthy and convenient food. It’s easy to make, tastes fantastic and I can even customize it if I choose to. That said, I could have eaten the Olivieri Basil and Cheese Pesto with a spoon it was so delicious!
Did you know that Olivieri is celebrating their  60 Years of Keeping it Fresh Anniversary this year? Check out their remarkable contest offering 60 days of prizes!
Where do you buy Olivieri’s products? Â Look for them in the refrigerated section of your grocery store or search on their website.
We had Olivieri pasta and pesto sauce tonight. LOVE it because it is so easy and reliable. I tell my older daughter to make them when I am running Ainsley to her therapy riding lesson and come back and we have dinner made. Easy enough for teen. Tasty enough for all of us. I think my pesto is different than this. I will look for this one.
We love pasta and this looks amazing! Now I know what we’re having for dinner tomorrow .

This sounds and looks delicious, I thoroughly enjoy pasta dishes. :-)

It’s been a while since I tried any Olivieri products; I did notice the other day, while in the grocery store, the new and vast number of products they had added to their line. Like that the flavours and products are more sophisticated and diverse; I will have to try this recipe and give their newer products a shot. Thanks!
