Reviews
“This has become a favourite in our house.I often substitute the chicken for prawns.”
“Jan, It is a very delicious meal!!!! especially when your 2 year old asked for seconds.I only had classic pesto and didn’t have any mushrooms in the pantry, but I did add capsicums and olives and it still tasted fantastic. Great recipe, thanks for sharing it.”
“Jan this is really delicious. Cooked exactally as written but used slightly more mushrooms only because I had them there to use up. My pesto was a sun-dried tomato/chilli pesto and it has quite a nice bite to it. We will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing.”
“Very easy and good pasta, it taste like it was made in italy”
