    Yum. Easy for a school night. I made for 4 and put in a little less stock. Teens and adults liked.

    So delicious. I went heavy on the pesto and sun-dried tomato and added some crunch, toasted pine nuts and garlic croutons. Easy, quick and yummy.

    This was so good & tasty! You definitely need less stock I’d say about 750ml. I accidentally bought Thai basil so I left it out, didn’t miss it! Will add spinach next time. Thanks!

    This recipe is delicious! Definitely going to keep cooking this and use this as a base and experiment and add in other ingredients like bacon, spinach and zucchini and see how that tastes.

    Such a good recipe!!! I added more pesto, less stock, and some zucchini (as read in the comments). Perfect for meal prep as well, my other servings I popped into the freezer for another day! Thanks for sharing Meg

    Used quorn chicken instead, took a little longer to cook than the recipe said but when it was done it was delish. Warming, filling and super easy to cook. Perfect for a cold autumn evening! Thank you.

    This was comfort food at its very best. Rich and silky, herby and moreish. Top marks for this one 👌. Additionally having this one now in my repertoire it adds to the many many reasons why my very lucky wife married me 🤣

    This is a straight banger, certified 10/10. Lucious, voluptuous, decadent and... im running out of adjectives. But hear me out: You seriously will not regret making this. It's so easy to prepare, it doesn't take a lot of time and it tastes DELICIOUS... I gotta say, this recipe is a keeper! Thanks Meg 💕
