250g green bean, trimmed

1 tbsp olive oil

1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced

2 large ready-roasted chicken breasts, shredded

5 tbsp pesto

Cook pasta following pack instructions, adding green beans for the final 6 mins of cooking time. Drain and reserve a few tbsps of the cooking water.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add spring onions and cook for 1-2 mins until soft, then set aside.
