  1. really good and easy to prepare. I used 3/4 cup homemade pesto sauce, 8 oz. spaghetti, 1 tbsp of butter (instead of 2) and 1/2 lb chicken instead of 1 lb (added some broccoli to make up for that).
     
  2. I have this exact recipe in the Campbell's cookbook. It is super easy and so flavorful...I also add in a cup or two of cooked frozen peas! I could eat this all day :)
     
  3. The combination of flavors did not work for us.
     
  4. Huge hit with the family, and SUPER easy!
     
  5. My family liked this. I just added some cut up broccille.

  2. Excellent and super easy. I used olive oil instead of butter for health reasons. Also used whole wheat rotini. I sauteed a few onions with the chicken breast, just because I love onions. It didn't really "need" anything, but I'm thinking it would be good with some black olives.
     
  3. Excellent. I made this the day before for dinner. I added two fresh cloves of garlic and used light cream instead of the milk. I also added some sun dried tomatoes for color. Is a new addition to my rotation.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
