Easy
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes for fresh pasta, 5 minutes to assemble
Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water, according to the instructions on the packet. Fresh pasta cooks much more quickly than dry pasta - about 7 minutes.
Toss together the shredded chicken, pesto sauce and the cooked pasta.
Stir the salad leaves and tomatoes through the pasta mixture. The leaves will wilt slightly. Serve warm.
