• Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil, season and wrap in kitchen foil. Bake in the oven for around 15-16 minutes until cooked through. (Note that if the chicken breast is larger than specified, it may take longer to cook. A 150-200g/5½-7oz skinless chicken breast fillet will need 16-18 minutes; a 200-250g/7-9oz one 18-20 minutes; and a 250-300g/9-10½ one 20-22 minutes. If cooking more than four breasts at a time, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, and don't forget to check that each breast is cooked through.) Alternatively you can poach the chicken - place the chicken in a pan along with the peeled onion and carrot and cover with 2.5cm/1in cold water. Bring to a simmer, add a good pinch of salt and poach for 10-15 minutes, with a lid on, until the chicken is completely cooked.

If you are using a pestle and mortar, start by pounding the garlic and salt to a rough paste, then add the pine nuts, then basil, then oil, and pound to a consistency you like. Stir in the cheese to finish. If you are working in a food processor you can blend the garlic, salt, pine nuts, basil and oil all together, and once you have a consistency you like, stir in the cheese.
• Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest until cool enough to handle, then shred into a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the pesto.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and boil the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta, saving a cup of pasta cooking water. Combine the pasta with the chicken and pesto, and toss together, adding a bit of pasta water if it needs loosening. Serve.
