Not sure where this came from originally but I love it! I used low-fat cottage cheese and sour cream. The pesto sauce would also be great as a sauce for chicken. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :-)

i thought i reviewed this ages ago, so sorry. this was a nice creamy dish. i served it with fresh grown cherry tomatoes, halved, and extra grated parmesan cheese.very quick and easy too. -- i forgot to add that i used home grown basil, which to me makes such a difference. —Reply
