4pieces Boneless Pheasant Breast
2 tsp Oil (olive is nice for this recipe)
1lb Pasta - your favorite - we used Gemini
1 Large Tomato, diced
1jar Prepared Basil Pesto
Salt & Pepper
Heat skillet to high, put 1-2 tsp olive oil in pan. If grilling,
heat grill to high. Remove skin from pheasant breasts (when
grilling, brush oil on both side) and season with salt &
pepper.
Place pesto in sauce pan and add diced tomatoes. Heat on low until
warm. Set aside with lid on to preserve heat. Stir slightly before
serving.
Cook pasta per directions on box.
When grilling, cook each side 4-5 minutes then turn 1/4 turn and
grill 2 more minutes. This will give nice grill pattern on meat.
Place pasta on plate, ring with colorful vegetable medley. Top
pasta with breast, and placed tomato basil pesto across breast for
delightful presentation Place pheasant in skillet, sear on both
sides, then turn down heat to medium. Cook 5-6 minutes on both
sides.
