  1. This was so delicious and so fast to make! I used a little bit more pesto (cuz I like it so much). Husband really enjoyed it even though pesto is not his favorite... He's asked to put it in the keep file...?
     
  2. While good, I think next time I will add a little more pepper flakes
     
  3. good
     
  4. I wonder how this would be with Zoodles....
     
  5. Very tasty! We all enjoyed it a lot. I used about 1/2 cup of pesto and wished I had used a little more. Served it with Recipe #283072. We all liked the addition of grated Parmesan cheese too. Thanks for sharing such a quick, flavorful meal idea!
