The Colonel's Presto Pesto Chicken & Pasta

1 package of Knorr brand Pesto Pasta Sauce Mix

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup olive oil

8 ounces cooked chicken breast, cubed

8 ounces cooked spaghetti

1 small jar artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped

1 small can sliced mushrooms

1/2 cup chunky chopped black olives

Prepare sauce mix as directed on the package. (Feel free to add some garlic powder if you want!) Mix together the cooked pasta, chicken, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and black olives. Toss this mixture in the pesto sauce.

Serve warm as a main dish or cold as a pasta salad. Now obviously, this isn't one of The Colonel's "made from scratch" recipes. However, it's really delicious and it's really quick to make. Hence the name: "Presto Pesto"!
