  1. I decided to try this because it was easy and I had some home made basil pesto I needed to use. This dish was AWESOME! Easy and what flavor! I followed the recipe exactly as stated and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for posting this!
     
  2. This is amazing Marie! Like it says, it's so creamy! I've never had pesto before, and wasn't sure I'd even like it, but it's wonderful!I followed the directions exactly, and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks so much!
     
  3. Very good meal; I kept on feeling like I should be at a restaurant, instead of just in my own kitchen. My husband and I are planning to leave out the chicken next time, for a vegetarian dish; the chicken was good, but we think it would be as good without it. Also, these are very generous portions (which are a good thing); we both ate to our fill, along with our two year old daughter, and there is still extra sauce left (we made 2 servings worth only). update: a year later, we make this recipe ALL the time, and absolutely love it! It's so fast and easy.
     
  4. I followed this recipe closely and came up with a delicious pasta dinner. My boyfriend cannot stop talking about it (The leftovers were gone a week ago.) I added some mushrooms and broccolli to the sauce just to add in some more flavor. Excellent!
     
  5. i thought alltho it was an overall really good dish i would cut down on the ammount of cream used it ended up being a little too saucy for my taste
