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.

Gross. Sorry, just gross. Hubs and I couldn't finish it. It was too rich. Honestly, it tasted like I watered down garlic cream cheese from breakfast and poured it on a perfectly good, flavorful dish..would have been much better with just some garlic/oil and white wine or chicken stock. Sorry, we really wanted to like it but we just really thought it was awful.

Very easy to make and most items you may already have around. Didn't use the pine nuts and sprinkled with a little shreadded parm cheese instead. Very good.

This was very good. I did not use the pine nuts (couldn't find them in the store) and I used bowtie pasta which made the dish very pretty. Definently will make again.

this was yummy and creamy but not overly thick. My whole family loved it, even the 2 year old!

Very easy & tasty! I modified by adding chopped garlic and vidalia onion to the chicken & peppers. I also used whole wheat penne pasta. The cooking creme is the bomb!

I made this delicious meal and the entire family loved it. I had to double the receipe because of family size, did have leftovers, which made I add were still delicious the next day cold. The only variation I did was to add a vidalia onion(sweet onion)when I sauteed the chicken & pepper. VERY,VERY EASY snd well worth it!! Thank you :)))

My family loved this meal. The kids were a little worried about the spinach but found that they loved the dinner.

very strong garlic taste. I made with parker house dinner rolls. Good but portions were small for caloric value.
