I left out the roasted peppers but it was still really good and very easy. Great recipe if you work late.

This tasted great and was so super simple to make. I added cubed cooked chicken and served with a mixed green salad. My kids loved it Will definitely make again

This was amazing! I made a few small changes, I used sun dried tomato pesto, sliced black olives, cut up artichokes, pre cooked chicken and regular feta!!! So YUMMY :)

This was a simple dish to make and very tasty considering the few ingredients. We made it as a side dish for our meal, but next time I think I'll add some pre-cooked grilled chicken and make some french/garlic bread to go with it as a main entree. Enjoy!

Super quick and easy recipe. This was the first time I have ever tried pesto and it was not for me. However my husband loved it!

Wonderfully simple. We loved this as a side dish with grilled chicken or just mixed with the precooked strips from the store. Also gave me the idea to use sundried tomato pesto and plain feta which was very good as well.
