Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the arugula, pistachios, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Confit the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 1 hour until they are soft and bursting.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. In the last couple of minutes, place a slice of mozzarella on each breast to melt.

  4. 4

    Cook the Capellini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the capellini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Make the Madeira Sauce

    In a saucepan, bring the Madeira wine to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce by half, then season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a serving of capellini pasta topped with spinach. Place the grilled chicken on top, add the confit tomatoes, and drizzle with arugula pistachio pesto. Finish with a drizzle of Madeira sauce.
