This was very tasty! The whole family enjoyed it, including kids 9, 7, and 4. I thought the amount of sauce was perfect for the amount of noodles (we used brown rice fettucine.) The pesto I used was a homemade spinach basil pesto with lots of flavor, so I think that made it extra yummy. The color was a little strange, but once it was mixed it with the noodles it wasn't as noticable. Also, I doubled the recipe so we would have leftovers but only used 4 T olive oil. A perfect quick lunch. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
