This was yummy! I was missing a few ingredients, so used green capsicum rather than red and yellow. Had no half and half, so just used milk and some cheese for the sauce. Made my own pesto which was awesome and added some mushrooms cooked in butter since they needed using. Followed instructions as written. I probably didn't make enough sauce for the pasta, but it was still delicious.
