  • Cook the noodles in salted water for about 15 minutes. If you add a little oil, they won’t stick.
  • Peel, remove the seeds, and cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
  • Whisk the egg.
  • Coat the chicken thighs in the egg and breadcrumbs. Heat the oil and fry the thighs.
  • Drain the noodles. Serve them on the diners' plates. Then cover the pasta with the tomato and dress with oil and salt.
  • Serve the thighs drizzled with the pesto sauce accompanying the noodles.
  • Pesto sauce preparation: Blend the bunch of basil, peeled garlic, a pinch of salt, a few touches of pepper, and the pine nuts until a creamy paste is achieved (check occasionally; if you prefer it less blended, you can just give it a quick pulse with the processor).
  • Add part of the olive oil and mix well with the blender. Gradually add the rest of the oil while continuing to blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Then add the grated cheeses and stir, preferably with a wooden spoon. Taste for salt and pepper in case it needs more.
  • Serve cold over hot pasta and store in the fridge in a glass jar for preservation.
