We really enjoyed this recipe.  I  only had elbow noodles so I used about 10 oz.  Took another suggestion and  sauteed about that much mushrooms with about that much garlic.  The I added 1/2 of can of diced tomatoes without the juice. I used the one with chili&#039;s.  When the noodles were done , I added the chicken to the pan about 3 cups worth and everything else.  I used about a cup of pesto and thought it was sill dry then added in about 2 tablespoons of the juice from the tomatoes.  We will definitely make it again.

Absolutely no way is this a recipe that was featured in a magazine...unfortunately it was. The pasta would have been dry and bland without the following additions. 1 cup half and half, parmesan cheese and carrot top pesto along with a gaggle of additional seasonings. In short this recipe is horrible.

I agree with others about this soup being just okay. The ingredient I added was mushrooms. They were the best taste in the soup.

This was fast and just okay. Not a big fan of pesto otherwise I might have liked it better. My daughter really liked it.

This is a flavorful pasta dish, and it come together quick for those busy nights.

This recipe is quick and easy and very good.  The roasted pine nuts were a nice addition.

My family loved this recipe. We&#39;ve made it several times. At my daughter&#39;s suggestion, I added 1 cup of sliced fresh button mushrooms &amp; 3 cloves of fresh garlic to the pesto &amp; heated it up with the chicken. Then I mixed this with the noodles. We were so pleased!
