Pesto Bowties with Chicken

Got this one off the side of a pasta box ages ago. We had it this week and it won the approval of everyone.

Pesto Bowties with Chicken

6 oz (1/2 pkg) Bowtie pasta
1 pkg (1/2 oz) pesto sauce mix (I use pesto sauce from a jar)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil (or less if you used pre-made pesto)
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
8 oz cooked chicken, shredded or cut in chunks

Cook pasta and drain. In large bowl stir together pesto sauce mix, water, and oil with fork until blended. Add pasta, cheese, tomatoes, and chicken; toss to coat.
