- Add the pesto sauce to the garlic combine well
- Pour in the white wine, chicken broth and olive oil and bring to a simmer
- Add in the chopped tomatoes and stir well over medium-low heat
- Cook the pasta as directed and then add it into the pesto sauce mixture
- Keep the heat on medium-low and and cook the pasta in the sauce so it absorbs the flavor
- If the pasta seems a bit dry, add in more chicken broth or olive oil
