Chicken and Pesto Zucchini Fettuccine with Tomatoes

My Mouth is just watering from this picture! I'm a huge fan of zucchini's 
and pretty much have them with every meal if possible. 
I have not had pesto in a really long time. Just under 400 calories and all sorts of goodness coming out of this meal!
