Ditalini translates into “small thimbles,” but there's nothing small about the flavors of this pasta dish. Tomato pesto, big and bright, combines with cream for a knock-out sauce. Chicken thighs, the best part of the bird, add their rich flavor to the mix, as well as fresh spinach and shallot. And the best part? The time and effort it takes to make this meal you can fit into a thimble.
Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.
