Boil the pasta in salted water with a little olive oil – stop it from sticking together.
Fry the minced chicken in a pan or skillet with minimal oil.
While the pasta and chicken are cooking, grind the pine nuts and sea salt in a mortar or blender.
Add the basil, olive oil and garlic to the ground pine nuts and salt, and mix well. Hey presto, you’ve got pesto!
Put the cooked pasta and chicken in the same dish and mix through the pesto. Try not to overmix. Sprinkle over with Parmesan cheese and extra pine nuts if desired.
