Not nearly as good as our normal creamy chicken Tuscan pasta.

great flavor. made with half thr pasta, cubed chicken and arugala instead of spinach.

This has become a house favorite. I like to add a lot of seasoning and a little lemon juice to the chicken which soaks in and mixes with the sauce. Delicious and creamy! Have also used fresh chopped up tomatoes but it’s hard to beat the flavor of the sun dried tomatoes. Still good either way.

Had to use canned tomatoes because i couldn’t find my sun dried tomatoes but still has great flavor.

This was delicious! Definately made it into the regular rotation! I used the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to cook the chicken and also I cut/cubed the chicken before cooking it. Next time I will use more sun dried tomato and chicken or less pasta. The ratio was just a little off for me but the flavors were totally there. Also added red pepper flake to mine but not the entire dish because I needed my kid to eat it too. She loved it .....even though she could see onion. Ewww! 😄😂😄😂

Very good everyone loved it. I didn’t add enough sun dried tomato’s. I will probably include a bit of cayenne pepper.

This was really good. I used pre minced garlic but may add more next time since I like the strong garlic taste.

I used this recipe and another as a guide to make chicken pesto pasta. I originally wanted to make chicken margherita, but after searching a few other recipes I landed here. I tweaked bith recipes to fit what I had already in my pantry and what was already bought because I didn't feel like foing back to the store. So I ended up making Chicken Margherita pesto alfredo pasta and it was Deeelish!!! My entire family loved it!! I didnt use sundried tomatoes, instead I used grape tomatoes cut in halves, fresh spinach, 4 cups of half and half (I didnt want it to be dry, and it wasn't lol, it was perfect!), and normally people like to sear the garlic in the butter and then put in the wet ingredients. I didnt do that, since I'm a newbie, I set aside about a cup in a half of pasta water, I melted the butter in it, and then added the minced garlic, the boiling water really opened the garlic up, afterwards, I just put in the half and half etc and mixed. Thanks to this recipe, and a few others, my alfredo sauce was BOMB!!

It turned out amazing only thing I did different than recipe calls for is I cut the chicken into one inch pieces and added creole seasoning to it. It was beyond good!! Highly recommend

Needed salt and a little more spices than called for . Next time I’ll use less pasta. But very good.

This was a little bland but still tasty. In the future I would dice or slice the dried tomatoes. I would also only use about 3/4 the pasta or 1 1/2 times the sauce. The pasta soaked it up and the remaining mixture was pretty dry. The suggestion of adding red pepper flakes added the kick the sauce was lacking. I will try again with the adjustments.

Very good, easy but I think it could use red pepper flakes and just a little lemon zest. I also added sweet peas.

Turned out great. Very creamy and I can never say no to anything with garlic.
