How to Toast Nuts in Skillet

When a skillet dish calls for toasted nuts, there's no need to heat up the oven. Before beginning the recipe, simply toast the nuts for a few minutes in the ungreased skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently just until nuts are lightly browned. Remove nuts from skillet and continue recipe as directed.

This recipe is really good. I omitted the pine nuts. I also think it needs more creme. It seemed lacking in creme for my family's taste and also when it is reheated. Next time, I'll add some extra and it would be awesome.

This was soooo easy! My husband and I both loved it! :) Next time, I think I will go ahead and use more of the red pepper.

Five stars because we liked the taste of the savory garlic. No bell peppers. I added caramelized onions, crushed garlic, mushrooms, and Parmesan. Drizzled truffle oil. Found the sauce too thick, so added pasta water until it was the right consistency. A bit rich, but delicious.

Delicious! I substituted shrimp for chicken, and used olive oil to cook the shrimp, peppers, and spinach. Loved it!

Very dissatisfied! Was really looking forward to this dish and it turn out terrible. Followed the directions exactly as they are. We were so hungry we ate a little bit and threw away most of it.

My husband and I really liked this dish. I followed the recipe, but it didn't come out as "creamy" as I would have liked...so, I added some milk and it was great!
