Directions:
- Boil salted water to cook the rigatoni (or whatever pasta shape you prefer). In the meantime, mince the garlic and cut up the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks and heat the oil on medium-low heat in a small skillet. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to infuse the oil (about three minutes). Once the garlic is golden, add the chicken and saute until cooked-through. Add the chopped red bell pepper while the chicken is cooking.
- Add the pesto sauce to the skillet and toss the chicken pieces around in the sauce. Heat through.
- Drain the pasta, and combine the pasta with the contents of the skillet. Mix well. Serve in two bowls, with parmesan and cilantro sprinkled on top.
