Made fresh pesto and ground my chicken so this took a while but was soooo good. Loved it and will make it many times again. Served with Recipe #225571. -
This recipe was amazing. Loved the flavor. Very unique. Love pesto! I added chopped onions to my meatballs to help keep them tender. I also made to sure to cook them all the way before I added chicken broth. I did not add the spaghetti to the sauce. I let people add their own sauce on top of the thin spaghetti. We used ground turkey. Next time I will be doubling the sauce for sure. Thanks so much :)
