an easy and light summer pasta dish

Easy and light pasta dish ? Yes, folks there is such a thing. Being a mommy there are a lot of times when I just really don't want to cook , I know you feel the same way and dont feel guilty. On top of all the things we do around the house your just down right tired. However, I do plan my meals out but I forgot to thaw out the pork chops. Im sure you have all been there and just ended up ordering out . So , how I came up with this dish was my fiance went out to our garden and picked a zucchini  earlier that day. I then started to crave pasta and wanted veggies in the dish .I said to myself ,"there are tons of pasta dishes with veggies in them ,  I just want something simple . ''  I then  began to look in my fridge and noticed mushrooms, half a can of diced tomatoes, pesto and two chicken breasts in the freezer. then my brain started to work. Here is my recipe . Hope you enjoy .
