This recipe has potential, I did not like the pine nuts, maybe if they had been toasted. I did not marinade the chicken for 2 hours. After about 30 minutes it was already beginning to cook in the lime juice. The recipe does not say how to cook the julienned veggies. I choose to put them in a steamer basket and place over the penne while cooking. I used more basil and parmesan cheese than the recipe called for.
