Pesto Chicken Mostaccioli image

I was looking for something new to whip up and decided to invent my own recipe. We love pesto and mac and cheese...but who knew what a yummy combination it would be with chicken nuggets? This is comfort food to the max, and it's great for a crowd! -Rebecca Stablein, Gillette, Wyoming
