Amazing!! I made this for the first time last week and I'm making it again tonight. I didn't change a thing, it was outstanding. Thank you

I made this tonight, and while the flavor was good, the cream cheese curdled. Any idea how to keep this from happening? Thanks!

This recipe is so good! Definitely a bonus that it’s so easy to put together. My daughter asked that I add this to the rotation. Thanks!

I'm on an Android tablet and it won't do the Five star rating for me. Please give 5 stars. Thx!

I love this recipe and have been making it since I saw it in December.  Got an air fryer this week and made it in that.  It was delicious!!  Just need to make a few adjustments next time. I ususally cut the recipe in half for me.

This recipe was so easy and so good! I’ll be making it again for sure.  I love the leftover suggestions too.

This recipe is one of the most delicious I have ever tasted!!!!
I did make my own pesto and used almonds, not pine nuts, because I'm allergic to pine nuts. THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER!
