Mean Green Pesto Fusilli Rodgers describes aillade as "an emphatically garlicky thing" (ail means "garlic" in French). Despite its obscurity, aillade is every bit as delicious and versatile as its famous Italian cousin pesto: toss aillade with pasta and grains, slather it on thick toast, swirl it pound Casarecce pasta (fusilli also works well). This summery pasta features spinach fusilli tossed with basil-mint pesto and sautéed asparagus and summer squash.

Mean Green Pesto Fusilli step by step

  1. Set aside a cup of pasta water. Drain pasta but keep warm while you create the sauce..
  2. Heat some oil in a skillet. Add your onions and cook until they are translucent. Add garlic. Cook until fragrant. Add sundried tomatoes and a splash of pasta water. Cook another minute. Add your pesto and stir..
  3. Start adding your pasta in small increments to make sure all noodles get covered. Taste and adjust your salt and pepper if needed..
  4. Add your cooked chicken and heat thoroughly if it was cold. And your fresh mozzarella last. I served the chicken alongside for the first night we had this...for leftovers i cut up the chicken and tossed everything together. Let me tell you the next day leftovers are amazing! You can have it as a pasta salad...We ate it cold!! So good!.
  5. Opt: drizzle extra oil over the top for a fancy finish. Also: Sprinkle the parmesan over everything at the end if you love that extra salty nutty flavor on your pasta!.

A bit more about pesto before we move on to the recipe itself. I love the way pestos pack an intense amount of flavor into every spoonful. They typically require a small list of ingredients, tolerate quite a bit of time in the refrigerator and, if needed, often make the jump to freezer without much trouble.
