How this version differs: Bumped the chicken to 500 g, added fresh basil, and increased the pasta to 300 g for a saucier finish. Cook's notes: The sun-dried tomatoes and extra parmesan make this so rich and glossy. A proper weeknight dinner. Extra tips: Slice the chicken against the grain and add the basil right at the end so it stays bright.
